Scope and Contents

The letter is in response to a query about the use and distribution of Indian judgment funds for the Cherokee tribe of Oklahoma. It provides information about the Delaware-Cherokee and Cherokee-Shawnee tribes, stating that the Shawnee tribe members were included on the final Cherokee roll as "Adopted Shawnee." The response assures that the comments on the funds will be submitted for consideration at a hearing in April. Another letter attached is about a proposed Cherokee Constitution draft.
