Correspondence Regarding the American Indian Movement's Activities and Ensuing Government Response in 1973, 1973-03-21

The letter from Captain Fred M. Nussbaum expresses disapproval of the activities of the AIM group, particularly their actions in Washington and at Wounded Knee. Nussbaum is concerned about the potential for further violence in Pawnee, Oklahoma, but is working to prevent it. Nussbaum criticizes the government for being soft on the group's actions and urges for stronger action to be taken to stop their lawlessness. Nussbaum, as an American Indian, is ashamed of the lawless acts being carried out in the name of Indian people and expresses support for elected tribal leaders.
