1969 Report on Conditions at Native American Boarding Schools, 1969-04-09
The article discusses the poor conditions at Indian boarding schools, particularly at Chilocco Indian boarding school. The Bureau of Indian Affairs ran out of funds to survey more schools, but there are concerns that similar mistreatment of students may be happening at other schools as well. The superintendent and principal at Chilocco were relieved of their duties, and Senator Fred R. Harris called for a task force to investigate and recommend improvements. Additionally, there are rumors of a hidden Chinese city beneath downtown Oklahoma City, but these claims have not been confirmed.
