Statement of Principal Chief Elmer Manatowa, Jr. in Support of H.R. 11771: Division of Judgment Funds Among Sac and Fox Tribes, 1973-01-01 - 1973-12-31
Scope and Contents
Elmer Manatowa, Principal Chief of the Sac and Fox Tribe of Oklahoma, supports H.R. 11771 which divides a judgment award between the Oklahoma Sac and Fox and the Iowa Sac and Fox tribes based on current membership. The Department of the Interior prefers using 1937 census rolls for division, but the Oklahoma Sac and Fox disagree, citing flaws in the 1937 roll and differences in tribal membership criteria. They argue that dividing the award based on current membership is the fairest and most democratic approach.
