RippZing
of the Rivers

A letter from Robert Yellow
tail, president of the Crow
indian Tribal Council is pub
lished in this weeks issue Of the
Tribune-Herald.
MIR. Yellowtail believes his
letter explains what is holding
no construction of the proposed
Yellowtail dam. From his let
ter, one would be led to be-
lieve that, instead of aiding the
Crow Indians and adding to
the value of their land, the
dam is merely a scheme to con-
fiscate Indian lands.
Mr.. Yellowtail is, of course,
entitled to his own beliefs and
his own thoughts, but we won
der If the majority Of his
tribe are in agreement with
him.
We think the Crow Indians
should be reasonably reimburs-
ed for the value of land to be
used for the project. We think
they will be. Mr.. YelloWtail has
stated at a Congregational COM
mittee hearing that the Crow
tribe wants all revenue from
the dam over and above
actual operating expenses. That
seems unreasonable to US.
We do not believe the major
ity of the Crow Indian tribe
wants to stand in the way of
progress of a nation. When the
time comes for settlement we
believe they will accept a fail
price for the land involved.
The dam would destroy nc
homes. It would destroy NO
farm land, and, we understand
very little grazing land. The
Crows have everything to gain
by construction Of the dam. We
believe many of the tribe real
lie this fact.
The proposed Yellowtail dam

tratfon reports that loan funds
are now available through the
