Description: In total, the Kane Family Papers consist of 56 linear feet of letters, legal papers, financial records, etc. of three generations of the prominent Philadelphia family. There is one folder of material relating to the Navajo people located in Series V. Francis Fisher Kane. Labeled "Navaho Indians--1948-1949," this folder contains typed notes (and copies of the notes) to U.S. Representatives Clarence Cannon and Hugh D. Scott and U.S. Senators Carl Hayden and Edward Martin regarding the Navajo Deficiency Bill and asking for their votes to avoid the closure of Navajo schools and hospitals. There are also brief replies from Scott, Hayden, and Martin; Hayden (who was on the Committee of Appropriations) includes the information that the bill has been amended to provide $550,000 for the education of the Navajo and Hopi and $400,000 for their welfare program, and all are hopeful for the success of the bill. Finally, there is a copy of Bulletin Number 8 (June 1948) of the American Friends Service Committee, featuring an article on the Navajo by Paul B. Johnson featuring three photos and focusing on child welfare, public health, education, and economic reform, as well as other articles on other topics. The same series contains a folder labeled "Indian Rights Association #4" that contains correspondence from IRA General Secretary Lawrence E. Lindley, a statement by Jonathan M. Steere about the urgent aid required by the Navajo and Hope, a booklet published by the IRA titled "Indian Truth," and other materials relative to the IRA in the early 1950s, particularly their focus on the Navajo and Hopi.

Description: The majority of the materials (all manuscripts and several audiocassettes) in the Jan Bruckner Papers relate to the Tohono O'odham language and reservation. They were produced from an effort to create Tohono O'odham vocabulary to facilitate physical therapy sessions, while Bruckner (a physical therapist) was working at Sells Indian Hospital, Tohono O'odham Reservation, between 1982 and 1992. There is a binder and some classroom handouts with medical vocabulary, commercial maps and other printed materials, and audiocassette recordings of language classrooms and of lexica and phrases recorded by primarily John Miguel. The entire collection has been digitized and is available in the Digital Library, via the collection finding aid.
