Description

This memorandum dated February 24, 1959, from the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, gives account of the history of the Tribal Credit Program imposed by the United States (US) Bureau of Indian Affairs upon the Tribes. The memorandum covers issues such the unreasonable collection of outstanding loans, the revolving credit program of US Bureau of Indian Affairs, the freezing of new loans, the inability of the Three Affiliated Tribes to receive loans from places other than the US Bureau of Indian Affairs, the practice of garnishing per capita payments, the effects of the Garrison Dam on holding land, the policy of US Bureau of Indian Affairs to grant loans based on blood quantum, disregard for reasons of delinquency, unfair practices of the Farmers Home Administration (FHA), and the need for the US government to take responsibility for these dilemmas. The memorandum makes three requests to change the credit practices imposed against Three Affiliated Tribes. The memorandum is signed by Legal Counsel Harry L. Malloy on behalf of the Three Affiliated Tribes.

The memorandum is marked with the handwritten annotation “Fort Berthold.”
