![["Duke City Lumber Co., Inc. is against legislation to grant 48,000 acres of land in the Carson National Forest to the Pueblo del Taos Indians. They believe that withdrawing such a large amount of public land would be excessive and detrimental to New Mexicans. They suggest a compromise similar to S. 750, which would grant the tribe exclusive use of 1,640 acres while allowing the Forest Service to administer the remaining area for the benefit of all citizens. They urge the introduction of a bill similar to S. 750 in the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pueblo%20Del%20Taos%20Indians,%201967-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0001_thumbnail.jpg "\"1969 Letter from Duke City Lumber Co.

![["A Bureau of Indian Affairs official testified that action on brutality at a Federal school for Indian students was deferred for six months despite findings of mistreatment. The official stated that the investigation was based on uncorroborated interviews with a few students. Senators criticized the Bureau for not acting sooner, while some officials at the school disputed the findings of the review team. The review team reported instances of physical abuse, including a student being handcuffed for 18 hours and another with a broken rib. The school superintendent called the report \"ruthless\" and unfounded. The review team also described a \"reformatory\" atmosphere at the school."]](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_0033_thumbnail.jpg "Bureau of Indian Affairs Official Testifies on Delayed Action in Alleged Student Mistreatment Case")
