Description

This letter dated August 9, 1946 from Adorah Carson, a member of the Federated Cavalier Civitas Club of Cavalier, to United States Senator William Langer asks to delay the construction of the Garrison Dam until further consideration can be given to the alternate plan proposed by the Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Council. Carson asks that the tribes be left in peace in their homes lest North Dakota create a permanent "blot" on its history due to its treatment of the Indigenous people of this land.
