Scope and Contents
The letter is from Edgar L. French, Tribal Manager of the Wichita & Delaware Tribes, expressing concerns about the Seidl Plan to reorganize and regionalize the Bureau of Indian Affairs Area Offices. Six tribes under the Anadarko Agency have prepared a resolution opposing the plan, stating that it would disrupt services to the Indian people and goes against President Nixon's policy on Indian self-determination. They are requesting their Congressional Delegation and Secretary of Interior Morton to stop the reorganization and focus on providing programs and services to the tribes. Congressman Happy Camp acknowledges the letter and assures that their views will be remembered.
