The matter of amending the
Constitution of the Tribe is one
which has been pending for the
past two years. In 1855, the
Tribal Council appointed com
mittec composed of representa-
tive members of the Tribe to
examine the Constitution and
propose suggested amendments
for the approval of the Tribal
Council.
The committees work was
later reviewed by the Council
and submitted to the Secretary
of the Interior with the request
that he call an election on the
amendments.
The election was scheduled for
October l. 1856. but was protest
ed by the Council on the grounds
that the Secretary of the Interior
had included amendments which
were already ruled ineffective as
result of previous election:
and that the Tribal Council was
not consulted in the inclusion of
these amendments.
The Secretary of the Interior,
as result of the Councils pro-
test. cancelled the election.
The meetings to be held the
18th and 10Th will be primarily
for the purpose Of acquainting
the members of the Tribe with
the proposed Constitutional
changes. and for the purpose of
reaching a preliminary agree
ment between the Indian Bureau
officials in attendance and the
Tribal Council as to the language
of the amendments.
Lazarus is scheduled to arrive
in Browning February IL and
during his stay. will discuss other
matters of importance with the
Tribal Council and members of
the Tribe, including legislation
introduced to date in Congress
affecting Indians in general. and
the Blackfeet Tribe in particular.
Among the Bureau of Indian
Affairs officials scheduled to be
present are Percy +. Melis. Bill.
lings Area Office Director; Rein.
holt Brust, Assistant Area Di.
rector, and Supt. Charles s.
Spencer of the Blackfeet Agency.
An effort is being made to
have one or more officials of the
Bureaus Washington office pres.
ent to attend the meetings.
