The letter from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to Hon. Page Belcher provides information about the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, including the programs and assistance provided to the community. It discusses the challenges faced by the reservation, such as poverty and unemployment, and outlines the efforts being made to address these issues through vocational training, tribal enterprise, and welfare programs. Despite these efforts, there are still needs that are not fully met, and the tribal government steps in to distribute surplus food commodities to the population.
