Scope and Contents

The document is a letter written by Sen. Fred Harris to the Church Headquarters asking for assistance in building a church for Native Americans in Anadarko, Oklahoma. Harris explains that he has been trying to help the Native American community in Oklahoma and has encountered difficulties in getting a response from the Church. He provides details about the land lease signed by the Church in Joplin, Missouri and expresses frustration at the lack of progress in building a new church. Harris mentions that he has exhausted all efforts and asks for assistance in addressing the needs of the Native American community in terms of education and religious institutions. The letter also includes a list of Native Americans who have signed a petition requesting help in building a new church. Harris signs off as a Cherokee Indian and expresses gratitude in advance for any consideration.
