![["The preliminary report on the Chilocco Indian School recommended the removal of the school superintendent and further investigation into allegations of criminal malpractice. The report, printed in the Congressional Record, detailed numerous charges against the school, including physical abuse of students. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is conducting a continuing investigation and plans to take appropriate action to improve conditions at the school.

![["The document discusses a report by investigators from the Bureau of Indian Affairs that found evidence of severe punishment and abuse at the Chilocco Indian Boarding School in Oklahoma. Students were handcuffed, jailed, and physically abused, with some bearing visible marks of their confinement. The report recommends the dismissal of the school's superintendent and highlights a culture of low expectations for the students, lack of student activities, and a disregard for student well-being. The findings have sparked controversy and calls for more control of Indian schools by Indian officials and parents."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/91st%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_10_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_10_141_9_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Chilocco%20Indian%20School,%201969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_10_141_9_0055_thumbnail.jpg "Abuse and Neglect Uncovered in Government-Run Indian Boarding School")
