Scope and Contents
A letter was sent to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs requesting an increase in tuition rate for Indian children attending school at Cache, Oklahoma. The Commissioner responded stating that the current rate is $0.20 per day per pupil. A petition was also sent to government officials seeking financial aid for the school district, as they were facing financial difficulties due to non-taxable land in the area. The letter highlighted the need for assistance to continue operating the school. Additionally, a bill for school relief in Oklahoma was discussed but was not signed by the Lieutenant Governor, prompting the school district to seek help from the Federal Government.
