This letter, dated August 8, 1950, from Commissioner D. S. Myer of the United States (US) Bureau of Indian Affairs to US Representative Usher L. Burdick, refers to Burdick’s letter of July 17, indicating Burdick's “support of the objectives as set forth in the resolution of the Advisory Committee of the Turtle Mountain Chippewas."
