AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is an account of the role played by the private organization, the Indian Rights Association, in helping gain governmental and private assistance for the Navajo at a time when drought and poor government planning were bringing them starvation (1890-95). It sheds interesting light on the conflicts within the government bureau on the policy and the personality levels.
