Correspondence Regarding Conditions at St. Labre Indian Mission School and Northern Cheyenne Reservation in 1962, 1959-01-01 - 1962-12-31
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Mahoney expressed concern about conditions at the St. Labre Indian Mission School in Montana to Member of Congress Page Belcher. The Bureau of Indian Affairs provided information on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, where the school is located, detailing programs for education, health, vocational training, and welfare assistance. The reservation faces economic challenges due to underdevelopment, leading to poverty and unemployment. Efforts are being made to address these issues through vocational training, tribal enterprises, and welfare programs.
