It mentions the staff and ownership of the newspaper, as well as a quote from Psalms and a statement from President John F. Kennedy about war. The editor criticizes Senator Henry Bellmon for his actions regarding minority groups and Senator Teddy Kennedy's political tour of Alaska, suggesting it is for publicity rather than genuine concern. Bellmon's actions are praised for calling attention to this issue, and the editor criticizes the biased reporting and motives behind Kennedy's tour. It is suggested that Bellmon's actions may not have a significant impact on Teddy Kennedy's campaign.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has investigated the allegations of brutality and has removed staff members following the report. The school has grown significantly over the years and is now home to over 1,000 high school students from various tribes. The use of handcuffs to restrain unruly students has been a controversial issue at the school. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is working to address the criticisms and improve the operations of the school.
