Tribal Council To Distribute
Beef To Reservation Needy

1t is evident that some of the
1856 Christmas spirit of giving"
has been carried over into 1857
and is still be harbored in the
hearts of the Blackfcet Tribal
Business Council.
At an executive board meeting
held January 18th, the Board
members went OH record as ap.
proving the purchase of 30 head
of cattle from various sources
and individuals. primarily for
slaughter and distribution in the
Browning. Heart Butte. Starr
School. Old Agency. Babb and
all other needy districts.
The committee appointed for
purchasing. handling and distri.
button of the beef is Polite
Pepion. tribal fieldman, and
Donald Wctzcl. tribal council
member.
Funds for the purchase of the
beef. approximately $4,000.
represents the unused portion of
the buffalo purchase made by the
Blackfcet Tribal Council in No.
vcmbcr. 1856.
Due to the heavy relief load
being carried by the County
Welfare office. their funds are
being Easily depleted. In No.
vrmber. 1856. the Council sup.
piled Tribal funds in the amount
of $4,000 to be used for relief
purposes. Together with county
funds. there was available for
direct relief, S45.OOO.0O to some
500 individual families.
The Council recognized the i'm.
mediate need for action If those
persons needing direct relief and
unable to get it. due to lack Of
funds. were TO be assisted
promptly.
Thus the Business Council has
again come TO the rescue of its
tribal members.
