- Description:
- Student leaders at Chilocco Indian School accuse the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs of slandering the school in an effort to eliminate it from BIA jurisdiction. They organize a letter-writing campaign and speak out against the bureau's proposed move to hand the school over to a private contractor. Students defend the school and refute allegations of mistreatment, urging their classmates to take action to save Chilocco.
