The text describes the poor living conditions of many Oklahoma Indians, as revealed by a survey conducted by state historian Angie Debo. According to the survey, most Indians live in poverty, with poor health and sanitation conditions, and little economic opportunity. Debo calls for increased assistance to Indian tribes, including extension of the Sequoyah Weavers association to all tribes, and better supervision of Indian money by the agency.
