Coal And Asphalt Deposits, Choctaw And Chickasaw Nations, Oklahoma

This volume contains the official record of hearings before the Committee on Indian Affairs of the United States Senate during the Sixty-fifth Congress, Second Session. The hearings pertain to H.R. 195, a bill providing for the sale of coal and asphalt deposits within the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations in Oklahoma.

The record offers valuable insights into the legislative considerations and debates surrounding the management and disposition of natural resources on Native American lands during the early 20th century. It presents primary source material for researchers interested in Native American history, resource management, and the legal framework governing tribal lands. The testimonies and discussions recorded offer a detailed view of the economic and political factors influencing decisions regarding resource extraction and land use in this period.
