- Description:
- The document is written by Lisa Cerwonka to a Senator, expressing concern about the poor living conditions of Native Americans in the United States. She questions why the government spends money on foreign aid but neglects the needs of Native Americans. She urges the Senator to take action to improve the situation for Native Americans and emphasizes the moral obligation to provide better treatment for them. Lisa implores the Senator to introduce new bills in the Senate and release funds to address the issue. She argues that helping Native Americans should be a priority over the Watergate scandal.
