Moqui investigation

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has released its report on the Moqui investigation. Mr. Kampmeyer was dismissed and Mr. Ballenger was deemed unfit for his position and transferred to a less responsible place. Charles E. Burton was reprimanded for neglect of duty and for the improper hair cutting order. The Sequoya League is satisfied with the report and believes that Burton can complete his term without further injustice to the Hopi Indians of Moqui.

Summary of letter from Charles Fletcher Lummis

Charles Fletcher Lummis reviews the evidence and is satisfied with the investigation of the Moqui (Hopi) Indian Reservation. He is not opposed to Charles E. Burton but against Burton’s administration. The card catalog is now interested in snakes and Lummis mentions a book from before 1590 on the subject.

Letter from Charles Fletcher Lummis to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles Fletcher Lummis apologizes for using harsh language to describe the Burton case. Lummis finds Charles E. Burton to be a “nice and respectable person” but his administration of the Moqui (Hopi) Indians deserves harsh language; Burton employed “brutes” and maintained the haircut order for eighteen months. Lummis supports Ms. Gates and the evidence she collected and he is not asking for Burton’s removal but insists that changes need to occur at the reservation.
