A leaflet published and distributed by the Women's National Indian Association. This particular item was written by Amelia Stone Quinton (1833-1926). Quinton founded the WNIA with Mary Lucinda Bonney (1816-1900), principal of the Chestnut Street Seminery and Ogontz School for Girls.

In general they supported christianization, education, and assimilation of Native Americans.
