Description
This letter dated February 14, 1952, from United States (US) Senator William Langer to US Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman, informs Chapman of the recent visit Langer received from Fort Berthold tribal member James Black Dog who showed Langer a copy of a resolution demanding an audit of all tribal monies collected and spent in a number of categories, as well as interest accrued on monies received for tribal land sold to the US Government in connection with the construction of the Garrison Dam.
