Student leaders at the Chilocco Indian School accused the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs of slandering the school in order to eliminate it from BIA jurisdiction. They called for a letter-writing campaign to defend the school and expressed concerns about the potential negative impact of turning the school over to a private contractor. The students denied allegations of mistreatment at the school and emphasized the importance of preserving Chilocco as an educational institution.
