725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California. January 23d, 1935. Senator B. K. Wheeler, 3757 Jocelyn St. N.W. Washington, D. C. Dear Senator Wheeler: You no doubt have four million things “dinging” at you this minute but you should know about a white family who have built a cabin of tribal land at Blue Bay Townsite on the east side of Flathead Lake. I understand the land office reports this townsite has been withdrawn as such and thrown back as “tribal land”. A U.S. Indian Forester says Blue Bay is the only place left for a recreation camp ground for the Flathead Indians. The white people are building cabins on the land and are supposed to have a trespass lease. I do [handwritten] know how it is worked but their idea is to eventually own the original townsite in some way. It seems a shame to me for the Indians to lose the only nice camp ground left for them on Flat- head Lake by some one being clever enough to put a deal over when the Indians are not looking. I know you will know what to do about it so our Red People won’t lose the land that should be held in tact for them. I surely am glad you are the Indians’ friend – they need you. Sincerely, [Transcribed by Lauren B. Gerfen, 2012-12-20]
