Staff Only

The text is a letter from the President of the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes to Congressman Glen English, requesting an amendment to the revenue sharing law. The amendment would base the revenue sharing funds for each tribe on the resident Indian population in their service area, rather than on taxes levied by local governments. The letter emphasizes that tribal governments are obligated to provide services to all Indians regardless of where they live, and should not be impacted by local tax levies. The resolution was unanimously adopted by the Council during their quarterly session.
