Section XV is a report that was written by both Helen herself and Abbot Kinney (a California resident who spoke Spanish), they had been appointed as Special Agents by the U.S. Government and their findings were submitted to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The outcome of this report was a Senate bill to improve conditions. Unfortunately, it was killed in the House of Representatives.
