The letter from the Bureau of Indian Affairs provides information on the conditions at the St. Labre Indian Mission School in Montana, which is located on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. The reservation has limited natural resources and faces economic challenges, leading to poverty and unemployment. The Bureau offers assistance programs for education, vocational training, healthcare, and public assistance. Efforts are being made to address unemployment through vocational training, tribal enterprise, and land use. The tribal government also distributes surplus food commodities to meet the needs of the population.
