Description
This letter dated August 10, 1954, from Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Chairperson Martin Cross to United States (US) Senator William Langer encloses two copies of meeting notes from the July 15-17 meetings on releasing tribal funds from the US Treasury. Notes were taken by the Tribal stenographer and by Superintendent Ralph Shane. Cross says the majority of speakers did not favor the plan put forth by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs as a means of distributing funds held in trust for the tribes. Cross asks Langer for his opinion. Copies of the enclosed transcripts are included with this document. The notes include a resolution.
