Study of Oklahoma Cherokee funded by the U.S. Office of Education from 1966-1968 and conducted via the University of Kansas at Lawrence. The principal personnel were Murray and Rosalie Was, Mildred Dickeman, Clyde Warrior, and Della Warrior. They were later joined by Robert Wandruff, Robert Buchanan, Robert V. Dumont, Kathryn RedCorn, and Patrick Petit. Mildred Ballenger, the wife of T.L. Ballenger (a historian at Northeastern State Teachers College, Tahlequah) provided valuable advice. For the duration of the project Dickman settled in a small village whose school was attended by "Fullbloods", the Waxes and Warriors settled in Tahlequah, and Wandruff was in Tulsa. This project temporality overlapped with a University of Chicago project headed by Sol Tax and administered locally by Robert K. Thomas and Albert Wahrhaftig. Included are project proposal and requests for contract extension; survey forms; interviews and field notes; project reports including the final report completed in 1969.
