Description
These undated notes, presumably written by United States (US) Usher Burdick and attached to a copy of US Senate Bill 2151 dated June 6, 1955, explain the need for per capita payments to aid the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, as they were forced to relocate their homes due to flooding by the completion of the Garrison Dam. The notes are annotated. At the top, a handwritten notation reads, "S. 2151, for record, March 7, 1956."
