Letter from Robert D. Mitchell to Senator George A. Smathers, June 10, 1957
Description
Robert D. Mitchell, a representative of the social advocacy group, the Seminole Indian Association of Florida, explained that the Seminoles on the Big Cypress Reservation were unhappy about the proposed expenditure of tribal trust funds for improvement projects that they did not think were necessary. A more general concern was the U.S. government's plan to spend tribal funds without consultation with Seminole leadership.
