Indian Unit Denies Claims

file type icon Indian Unit Denies Claim1.pdf
Summary: 
Article about the 1966 poll for termination from the Spokane Daily Chronicle dated 9/26/1969.
Description: 

Covington asserts that a poll sent to tribal members in 1966 is misleading and biased, pushing tribal members to approve of termination under a guise of choice, when "no matter how one voted, the end result was to favor termination". The council denied her claims despite protests from tribal members sending the poll back unopened/unanswered.
