- Description:
- Student leaders at Chilocco Indian School, along with law enforcement officials, condemned the Bureau of Indian Affairs' report alleging criminal malpractice by school leaders. They believe the charges are false and may be used as an excuse to lease the school to a private contractor. Students spoke out against the allegations and urged others to write to their representatives to defend the school. The officials who drafted the report claim it is an internal document for investigation purposes. The student leaders formed a Save Our Schools group and called for an end to the slander of Chilocco.
