Description
This handwritten letter dated January 31, 1947, from Three Affiliated Tribes member Martin Cross to United States Senator William Langer, informs Langer that the Gros Ventre (Hidatsa) people plan to send delegates to Washington D.C. regarding the Garrison Dam. Cross indicates that the Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Council will not send him to Washington as a delegate although he has support from the tribes and that Floyd Montclair was refused by the tribes' attorney Ralph Case. Cross reports on a riff with the tribal council and asks Langer for information regarding the Garrison Dam.
