Description

This newsletter, dated September 28, 1950, published by the Governors' Interstate Indian Council includes, among other items, a piece on pages 3 and 4 on the efforts of John B. Hart, executive director of the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission, to arrange for off-reservation of North Dakota tribal members. The article begins with a description of Hart as a "young, good-looking and single Native North Dakotan" and goes on to describe Hart's education and proximity to the Turtle Mountain Reservation, and his resulting interest in the welfare of the North Dakota's tribal members. The article includes a quote from the Riverdale, North Dakota (headquarters for the Garrison Dam construction project) dateline news dispatch consisting of testimonials from employers who are using Native labor in various activities (welding, excavation, tunnel mining, construction).
