"The average American cannot get a true picture of the situation... by reading the report of J. A. Krug] the Secretary of the Interior. ...[I]t paints the picture of poverty, illiteracy, and inhuman conditions that exist on the Navajo reservation. Then it presents a proposed program of rehabilitation which would transform this semi-desert Indian concentration camp into a Navajo paradise. ...But Sam Ahkeah... knows that the government experts say that the reservation is now overpopulated by some 35,000, and that it will continue to be [so] for ten years after it has been rehabilitated. Helping to overpopulate... is a tremendous number of non-Indians: the Indian Bureau employees, the teachers, the traders, the missionaries with their schools operating dormitories, school farms, and power plants, and the tourist hotels, largely supporting themselves from the land of the reservation and employing many white people."
