At a general meeting with representative George Youngbear presiding, members of the Fox and Kak Indians of the Tama Reservation, discuss topics of concern, including: the threat of the reservation's federally funded schools becoming state run, the reservation's lack of arable land, and the need for a recreation center for the reservation's youth. Fox elders are recorded speaking in Muskwakan. This broadcast forms part of the University of Chicago Fox Project Records and Sol Tax Fox Notes in the National Anthropological Archives.
