- Description:
- Correspondence between Howard E. Tommie, President of the United Southwestern Tribes, Inc., and various government officials regarding the future of Intermountain School in Brigham City, Utah. Tommie and other tribal leaders are advocating for the school to remain open and to allow enrollment from all tribes. They are proposing a feasibility study to explore alternative uses for the school and are seeking support from government officials to prevent budget cuts and staff reductions at the school. The government officials, including Senator Dewey F. Bartlett and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Morris Thompson, have expressed concern for the future of the school and are willing to work with tribal leaders to ensure that the wishes of the Indian people are considered.
