![["The editorial calls for a reevaluation of how the US government manages Indian Affairs, highlighting the inefficiencies and historical wrongs done to American Indians. It suggests eliminating the Bureau of Indian Affairs, giving control of funds to democratically elected Indian leaders, and setting a ten-year cutoff for government support. The editorial emphasizes the need for Indians to manage their own funds and avoid creating another bureaucratic structure that wastes money."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0000-Indians%20Affairs,%20Elbert,%20Hazel/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_31_22_0006_thumbnail.jpg "A Call for Change: Reforming Indian Affairs")
