Description
This editorial, published in the Fargo (N.D.) Morning Forum on February 15, 1952, critiques the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and its proposed plan for “self-liquidation.” While the Bureau presented a plan to wind down its operations, the House Appropriations Committee discovered that the process would require 90% more funding in the upcoming year than ever before and extend for at least another 15 years.
