This letter, dated June 8, 1954, from Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Chairperson Martin Cross to United States (US) Senator William Langer encloses a copy of a letter Cross has sent to the US Commissioner of Indian Affairs, a copy of a telegram Cross sent through the Area Office in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and a copy of tribal resolutions inviting the Commissioner to send representatives to the Fort Berthold Reservation in order to explain the Bureau's plan for release of the funds held in trust for the tribe.
This correspondence to the Commissioner is in response to an unsuccessful effort to appeal the Bureau's rejection of a plan put forward by the Tribes.
There are some handwritten notes on these documents.
