Indigenous Leaders Demand Removal of a Boarding-School Superintendent
Agent Lynch suspended Rev. Maxwell Phillips from the Wilbur boarding school; the paper called him mentally and morally deficient, and Indigenous leaders called a council to demand an account of his conduct and his removal.
“The more prominent among the Indians had already arranged for an Indian council to be held on Saturday, Dec. 5, demanding an account of his peculiar conduct and his removal by the agent.”
