Scope and Contents

The letter is written by Bardina J. Holevorts on behalf of her widowed mother to Senator Ired Harres, requesting information about Indian landowners. They have been told that their lands are held in trust by the federal government, making it difficult for them to borrow money or mortgage their lands. Bardina's mother has been denied benefits and services from various programs and departments, and they are seeking clarification on whether the land they own is held in trust. They are awaiting a response from the Senator.
