![["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. They organize a letter-writing campaign and speak out against the bureau's proposed move to hand the school over to a private contractor. Students defend the school and refute allegations of mistreatment, urging their classmates to take action to save Chilocco."]](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_0042_thumbnail.jpg "Chilocco Indian School Students Accuse BIA of Slander and Neglect")

The Bureau of Indian Affairs responded stating that eligibility for one roll does not affect eligibility for another, and explained the specific criteria for enrollment in the Otoe and Missouria judgment fund. The Bureau also addressed concerns about tribal council representation and potential resolution regarding eligibility for tribal claims. Mrs. Chapman requested clarification from Congressman Page Belcher on the matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/86th%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_5_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_5_45_8A_0000-Interior%20-%20Departmental%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs,%201959-1960/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_5_45_8A_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Dual Enrollment on Indian Tribal Rolls and the Impact on Judgment Fund Eligibility")
