![["The document is a response from Rep. Page Belcher to a resolution sent by the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Tribal Business Committee regarding the removal of the United States' guardianship over Indians. The committee expressed their opposition to the passage of S. 401, a bill that would abolish the functions of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and remove guardianship over Indians and trusteeship over Indian lands. They believe that the tribes are not yet ready for such a change due to disparities in health and business knowledge between tribal members and the non-Indian population. They petition their representatives in Congress to oppose the bill and send copies of their resolution to federal officials. Rep. Belcher acknowledges receipt of the resolution and promises to carefully consider the matter."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_004_3_22_15B_0001.jpg "1955 Opposition to the Removal of U.S. Guardianship Over Indians: A Resolution of the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Tribal Business Committee")

It highlights concerns about individuals falsely claiming Native American status to meet affirmative action quotas and proposes a solution to require verification from tribal governments.
