![["In his address to the Kiwanis International Clubs of the Southwest in 1937, Honorable John Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, highlighted the importance of Indian affairs in the Southwest. He emphasized the interdependence of Indian and white communities in states like Arizona and New Mexico, and discussed the transformation of the Mescalero Apache Indians from living in squalor to organized and thriving communities. Collier also mentioned the progress made by the Jicarilla Apache's, showing that the New Deal for Indians was not a novel concept but had historical precedents."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_12_10_3_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Collier,%20John,%201935-1937/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_12_10_3_0013_thumbnail.jpg "1937 Address by Commissioner of Indian Affairs: The Role and Impact of Southwestern Indians")
