![["The document is a letter from Elmer Thomas to H.E. Choc Wilkes regarding matters relating to the Five Civilized Tribes. It discusses a meeting in Muskogee to outline relief efforts for distressed Indians, criticizing the long-term plan as perpetuating past policies and advocating for the closure of Indian schools in favor of public schools. It questions the authority of the Indian Bureau and advocates for giving Indians freedom and opportunities to become self-sufficient and regain their honor. Additionally, it criticizes the portrayal of Indians in media and calls for an end to the negative stereotypes.
