Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William B. Allison
President Roosevelt seeks to call Senator Allison’s attention to the need for increased appropriations for education and support of Native Americans in Alaska, along with the support of the reindeer industry. Roosevelt briefly comments on the need for expanded actions by the Bureau of Education to promote sanitation and health in Native American villages. Roosevelt urges that congress provide the full appropriation that Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield has asked for.
