{"value"=>"<p>The Eastern Association on Indian Affairs (EAIA) materials stem from Dellenbaugh's involvement as a director on the board of the organization. These items consist of correspondence from the organization's vice-president, Corinna Lindon Smith; press releases and other printed matter related to Native Americans and Congressional legislation; and miscellaneous printed matter and newspaper clippings.</p> <p>Corinna Lindon Smith's correspondence, of which the majority of letters are copies of the originals, were presumably forwarded to Dellenbaugh for his review as a member of the board. Her letters pertain to the compensation awards granted under the Pueblo Lands Act of 1924 and appeals court decision of 1931, questions of water rights, relief to Navajos due to severe weather, and the creation of \"Indian trust estates.\"</p> <p>The press releases and printed matter include an analysis co-published by the EAIA and the New Mexico Association of Indian Affairs, which examined John Collier's appearance before the Senate sub-committee of Indian Affairs in January and February of 1931, and found him to have misrepresented the Native Americans' cause; and two Department of the Interior press releases from March 1932, attacking John Collier as a \"fanatical Indian enthusiast.\" Also included are copies of memos, government publications and reports on Congressional hearings; and miscellaneous clippings and publications on Native Americans, their cultures and languages. Finally, the printed matter contains a small file of flyers and pamphlets from the Society of the American Indians, ca. 1913.</p>"}
