Telegram from Chairman of the Committee on Constitution Bill Osceola to Florida Governor LeRoy Collins, July 9, 1957.
Description
Bill Osceola, a Seminole leader who would become a tribal president, requests reimbursement from the state for monies paid to appoint Florida Indian Agent Maxwell Denton with funds held in trust for the tribe. The Council voiced its disapproval when the state and federal governments made major administrative decisions without first discussing the matters with them. This included cases in which Seminole funds were believed to be expended to primarily benefit a separate Miccosukee Trail Indian faction.
