The letter is a complaint from the Fort Sill Apache Tribe to the Secretary of the Interior regarding the unfair division of judgment funds from Indian Claims Commission Docket numbers 30 and 48. The tribe is concerned that their appeal was not considered before a settlement was approved with the Mescalero Apache Tribe. They argue that they represent the majority of the tribe and that their rights as Indians and citizens of the United States are being denied. They request that the Secretary correct the mistake and consider their appeal properly.
