Description
This undated and unsigned resolution calls for the resignation of the present Three Affiliated Tribes Business Council members and officers and for a special election to be held as soon as possible to elect a new council. The resolution levels several accusations against the current tribal council, including Chairperson Martin Cross, and claims that the majority of voting members of the tribes are dissatisfied with the conduct of the current tribal council members. The resolution has "Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, North Dakota" as a header. A handwritten note at the top of the resolution has the date February 8, 1952 and a note that says, "50 copies sent by Black Dog to Oscar Burr--to be circulated."
