![["The document addresses Senator Bartlett's inquiry regarding the Institute of the Southern Plains, Inc., a school established by a group of Indian parents in Hammon, Oklahoma. The school faced funding challenges and operated in temporary facilities. The Bureau of Indian Affairs provided funding for the school, but there were concerns about the quality of education provided. The document also discusses the rift between the dissident Indian parents and the local public school authorities, as well as the challenges faced by the community. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is working to address these issues and provide support for the school."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_31_7_0007.jpg "Education Challenges in Hammon: The Story of the Institute of the Southern Plains, Inc.")
