Appeal for Reconsideration of Indian Land Leasing Policy: A Letter to Senator Elmer Thomas, 1946-04-06
Scope and Contents
The letter is from a group of Indian land lessees to Senator Elmer Thomas, expressing concern about a new ruling removing preference rights of old lessees on Indian leases. The lessees argue that stable families who invest in improving the land are the best renters, as opposed to those who do not make long-term investments. They urge the Senator to consider the long-term benefits of maintaining stable renters on Indian land.
