Scope and Contents
George F. Duke, director of the California Indian Legal Services, writes to Congressman John N. Happy Camp to urge him to reject an amendment proposed by the Department of the Interior. The amendment would designate the XL Ranch Home and Agricultural Cooperative Association as the sole beneficiary of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation, instead of the Pit River Indian Tribe. Duke argues that the Pit River Indians have not been given a fair chance to be heard in the matter, and that the proposed amendment would deprive them of their rights.
