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. Jackson asks Happy Camp to support funding for boarding schools as a way to help these children get a good education and become productive citizens.
