B|uckfeet Offer FreeLund
For Location Of Industry

AS a means of furnishing EN-.
ployment and additional income
for their people, the Blackfeet
Tribal Council is offering free
land for industrial sites on their
~ million acre reservation in
this area.
This is the first offer of its
kind by any Indian tribe in the
United States. designed to at.
tract industry within their
boundaries and the council has
contracted for a full.pagc adver.
tisemcnt in the December issue
of the industrial magazine, Com.
merce and Industry, as a means
of getting to manufacturers and
industry that might be interested
in the vast natural advantages
the reservation has to offer.
The promotion is designed and
made further attractive thru the
advantages of over 1900 available
reservation adults ready for
training and who do not wish to
be moved off the reservation
under the Indian Bureaus relo-
cation program.
The Council believes their
reservation contains vast and un.
limited sources of mineral, oil
and gas resources that await only
exploration and development
thru technical operation of in.
dustrial enterprises.
Other attractive phases Of the
promotion include potential n.y.
dro electric power. timber and
available manpower.
The Council is also seeking
federal funds for the construc.
ton of a hydro.electric power
plant on Big Badger, which they
contend would furnish cheap
power to manufacturers and pro-
vide unlimited recreational IA.
cilities for this area.
