Description

This letter, dated January 11, 1954, from John B. Hart to Orme Lewis concerns the issue of native emancipation from the reservation and trusteeship system. Hart writes that, while he agrees that abolishing the reservation system is desirable and that natives should ultimately be served by the same health, welfare, education, and law enforcement agencies as the ones that serve "non-Indians," state and local agencies must be compensated for the additional expense that will result from these changes in policy.
