  Dear Mr. Fields:

  We have received the results of the election held on July 23, 1997, by the qualified voters of the
  Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma (Tribe). The election was called in accordance with an order
  issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Indian Affairs on March 31, 1997, which permitted the
  qualified voters of the Tribe to vote on the adoption or rejection of the proposed Constitution of the
  Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma.

  As evidenced by the completed Certificate of Results of Election, the proposed constitution was duly
  adopted on July 23, 1997, by a vote of 226 for, 7 against and 8 ballots found spoiled, in an election
  in which at least thirty percent of the 343 members registered and entitled to vote cast their ballots.

  The Constitution of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, as adopted on July 23, 1997, is hereby
  approved pursuant to the authority delegated to the Secretary of the Interior by the Oklahoma Indian
  Welfare Act of June 26, 1936 (49 Stat. 1967) and delegated to me by Secretarial Order No. 3150 as
  extended by Secretarial Order No. 3177, Amendment No. 2. Please deliver the enclosed approved
  original document to the Tribe.

                                                  Sincerely,





                                             [  & Deputy Commissioner of Indian Affairs
