![["The writer discusses the complexities of Native American identity and the impact of government policies such as allotment. He shares personal experiences and observations of Native American individuals who struggled with adapting to white man's ways. The writer emphasizes that Native Americans are not a super-race and are subject to the same frailties as all mankind. He suggests that while some Native Americans may resist adopting white man's ways, there are also those who are honest, upright, and moral. The writer believes that Angie Debo's report on Native Americans could be improved by including more specific classifications and avoiding generalizations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_13_74_0000-Interior%20Choctaw%20Chief%20Election%20Constituent%20Concern%20with%20Method%20of%20Selection%201952/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_13_74_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Reflections on the Complexity and Diversity of Native American Identity")
