- The document is written by Mrs. June Echo-Hawk expressing concerns about the treatment of Indian children at Seneca Indian School. She mentions incidents of child abuse, internal strife among faculty, and attempts to remove the Indian superintendent. She urges Commissioner Thompson to support Indian people's self-determination and allow them to retain control of the program. A memorandum from Don Bluejacket discusses potential plans to reassign the superintendent to resolve the issues at the school.
