Proposal to Obtain Students from the Blackfeet, Navajo, and Ute Agencies

Date
July 22, 1887

Richard Henry Pratt responds to an Office of Indian Affairs letter regarding bringing students from the Blackfeet, Navajo, and Ute Agencies to the Carlisle Indian School. Pratt notes that he has instructed his staff sent to the Rosebud, Pine Ridge, and Omaha Agencies not to obtain as many students as he had previously thought to bring back, meaning there would be room for students from other agencies. Pratt proposes delaying any action until the winter and then revisiting it.
