A Historic Addendum on the Relationship of Anthropologists and Indian Communities

Presents a letter, protesting the nonrenewal of Morris Swadesh's contract by the City College of New York in 1949, signed by the chief of the Mowachat band. Morris Swadesh, who taught people how to write their language (Nuu-chah-nulth or Nootka), was much appreciated by the Aht people, thus his nonrenewal caused great concern.
