Description
This letter dated May 17, 1950, from Joseph Wicks to United States Senator William Langer, is a copy of Wicks's critiques of John Hart's speech to the Rocky Mountain Regional Meeting of the Interstate Council on Indian Affairs. Among many critiques, Wicks takes particular exception to Hart's claim that prejudice against tribal members is undeniable.
There is a handwritten note from Wicks to Langer at the top of the letter that reads as follows: "Bill, I think this should change the thinking of Aandahl & Hart on Indians."
