Telegram from Miccosukee Tribe Spokesmen to Governor LeRoy Collins, October 15, 1957

Description

This telegram to Florida Governor LeRoy Collins from a number of Miccosukee spokesmen expresses their concern that, despite the state government's recognition of their constitution, the state might not act on its promise to pursue the designation of a reservation for the tribe. The underlying message was that they were concerned that state recognition would not fully provide them what they felt they needed.
