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.

Letter from Charles Fletcher Lummis to Theodore Roosevelt

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.
