Three interrelated themes dominate Muriel Wright’s correspondence in her papers at the Oklahoma Historical Society: her family ties, especially her father’s Choctaw lineage; her work in and promotion of Indian history, especially the Five Civilized Tribes; and her participation in Indian affairs, especially those of the Choctaw Nation. The long-term interaction among those themes was mutually reinforcing. Her commitment to the Wright family’s Choctaw lineage sustained her commitment to the history of Indian people and to Indian affairs in Oklahoma, while her work as a historian and her involvement in Indian affairs invigorated her family ties. To facilitate research in her papers, we have divided them into twelve categories, identified by the following keywords: biography; family; biography and Indian history; Indian history; biography and Indian affairs; Indian affairs and Indian history; Indian affairs; and the following keywords related to her publications: Chronicles of Oklahoma; Spring Place; Guide to Indian Tribes in Oklahoma; Our Oklahoma. This letter is identified by the keyword: Family.
