![["The document is a letter from Fred R. Harris, a U.S. Senator, thanking Carroll M. Ridgway for sending information about the St. Labre Indian School, which is focused on providing opportunities for Native American students to advance and improve themselves rather than relying on charity. The school has made significant progress in addressing poverty and providing education and job opportunities for the Northern Cheyenne tribe. The school is now seeking support to establish a trade school to further train young people and address the high unemployment rate on the reservation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20Indian%20Schools,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_197_3_018_thumbnail.jpg "St. Labre Indian School: Providing Opportunities, Not Charity")
