Advocating for Indian Representation: A Letter to Congress

Robert Galbreath, Sr. is writing to Hon. Dixie Gilmer regarding the appointment of Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He mentions that a candidate from Pennsylvania has been offered the position, but has not yet accepted. Galbreath believes that representatives from Oklahoma with large Indian populations should demand recognition and work together to select the best candidate for the position. He expresses his preference for a specific candidate, but is open to other possibilities.
