Corrine Jackson, field coordinator for the Native American Talent Search Project, writes to John N. Happy Camp, member of Congress, to request funding for boarding schools for Indian children. She notes that many Indian children come from poverty-stricken backgrounds and cannot afford an education, which limits their opportunities in life.
