Description
This letter, dated May 14, 1956, from Bigelow Neal of Sanish, North Dakota, to United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick reports on some calls that Neal made to follow up on the Three Affiliated Tribes' hunting, fishing, and grazing rights on the land taken from them for construction of the Garrison Dam. Herman Jahnke informed Neal that tribal members can hunt on their reservation any time they wish. The Indian Agency did not have any opinion or information to provide. Neal spoke with Martin Cross and Neal told Cross that he would write Burdick a letter. Neal indicates that he has enclosed a letter that he hopes will be useful. This letter is not enclosed with this document, but it is likely the letter included in this collection entitled, "Letter from Bigelow Neal to Representative Burdick Regarding the Terms of the Taking of Land for Construction of the Garrison Dam, May 14, 1956" which was filed next to this letter in Burdick's papers.
