The letter discusses the reduction in funding for Indian schools in Oklahoma, leading to potential closure of some schools. Despite efforts to restore funding in the House of Representatives, the bill passed with only $8,000,000 allocated for Indian education. This will result in a shortage of funds for schools in Oklahoma, affecting three schools in the district. The Interior Department bill is now with the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and efforts are being made to ensure adequate funding for these schools.
