Stull's doctoral research was on the Papago Tribe of Tucson, Arizona, and its struggles with urbanization and public health. As part of his further research into Native Americans in general, and the tribes of Kansas and Nebraska in particular, he worked on several collaborative film projects and a study of the history of education as it relates to both on- and off-reservation schools. Because of the proximity of tribal reservations, some conventional public school systems have a high proportion of Native American students. Further, the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas used federal support to create the Kickapoo Nation School, and the University of Kansas contracted to provide administrative expertise in the development of that school system. Part of that effort included development of books to help with the teaching of the Kickapoo language in that school system.

This series consists of grant administrative records, materials related to documentary production, and records of other programs taking place particularly on Kickapoo tribal lands in Kansas in which Stull was involved. The series includes photocopies of federal and tribal historical records and records contemporary to when Stull was working with the tribes, as well as copies of materials Stull found in his research, such as from the Kenneth Spencer Research Library.
