The text is a series of letters and legal opinions regarding the issue of Indian tuition waivers at Fort Lewis College in Colorado. The letters express concern about a bill introduced in the State legislature to cut off tuition waivers for Indian students, which would jeopardize their access to education. The legal opinion from the Colorado Attorney General states that the state is in compliance with the terms of the grant regarding the use of the Fort Lewis land. The letters call for immediate action to support Indian tuition waivers and equal educational opportunities for American Indian students.
