Correspondence Regarding Injustices to the Tonkawa Indians and the Misuse of Funds for Road 6117, 1963-07-15
Scope and Contents
Levi Stevens, Chairman of the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians, wrote a letter to Phileo Nash, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, expressing concerns about the allocation of funds for a farm to market road for the Ponca Indians. Stevens believes that road 6113, which benefits both Indians and white farmers, is a more logical choice for the project than road 6117, which he feels is not as beneficial to the Indian community. Stevens requests a fair investigation and emphasizes the importance of education for Indian children.
