![["Student leaders at Chilocco Indian School accuse the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs of slandering the school in an effort to eliminate it from BIA jurisdiction.

![["The document discusses the Ponca City News, a newspaper published in Oklahoma. It mentions the staff and ownership of the newspaper, as well as a quote from Psalms and a statement from President John F. Kennedy about war. The editor criticizes Senator Henry Bellmon for his actions regarding minority groups and Senator Teddy Kennedy's political tour of Alaska, suggesting it is for publicity rather than genuine concern. Bellmon's actions are praised for calling attention to this issue, and the editor criticizes the biased reporting and motives behind Kennedy's tour. It is suggested that Bellmon's actions may not have a significant impact on Teddy Kennedy's campaign."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/91st%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_10_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_10_141_9_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Chilocco%20Indian%20School,%201969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_10_141_9_0044_thumbnail.jpg "Senator Bellmon's Critique of Political Exploitation of Minority Groups")
