Description
This newsletter dated September 5, 1950, from the American Indian Fund and the Association on American Indian Affairs gives an account of the current legal status of national legislation faced by indigenous peoples in the United States. Included in this newsletter is the topic entitled, “THE INDIAN BUREAU EXPERIMENTS WITH POCKET-VETO,” which outlines how the United States Indian Bureau’s “inaction is dooming the current Congress S 3303, a bill to bring some measure of of justice to the Ft. Berthold Indians, whose land will be inundated following the construction of the Garrison Dam.” The newsletter states S. 3303 would assure the Fort. Berthold residents valuable rights which they are being “needlessly and arbitrarily deprived.”
