The letter addresses the appointment of Marcy Cully as Principal Chief of the Seminole Nation without the approval of the General Council. The General Council held a meeting and unanimously voted against Cully's appointment, but Cully was appointed by the Secretary of the Interior based on a resolution approved by a few members of the Council. The Chairman of the General Council requests an explanation from the Area Director regarding the appointment and questions whether the approval was based on falsified resolutions. The letter emphasizes the Council's right to select or reject their leaders without interference.
