1949 Letter Discussing Payments to Chickasaws and Choctaws for Coal and Asphalt Lands, 1949-06-30

Item — Box: DP 6, Folder: 77

Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_6_77_0021

Scope and Contents

The letter is from Carl Albert, a member of Congress, in response to a query from Samuel Moon regarding payment to the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes for the sale of their coal and asphalt lands to the government. Albert states that enrolled members do not need to fill out any forms for payment as their names on the rolls are sufficient proof of entitlement. Payment will be made on a lump sum basis by the Muskogee Agency in Oklahoma, and it is important for members to ensure their mailing address is up to date. Albert also mentions that heirs of deceased members will receive proof of heirship notices to determine their entitlement. Albert offers further assistance if needed.
