Written by Jeanne K. Beatty, the
article begins, 1.-THE Museum of
the Plains Indian, marvel in
its own right, occupies what is
considered to be an ideal loca-
ton for an institution of its
kind. Situated on the outskirts
of Browning, Montana, a few
miles east of Glacier National
Park, it stands at the edge of the
high plains country, with the
black mountains of the park ris-
ing in the background"
when the museum was plan
ned in the Nineteen Thirties as a
public work project, Missoula,
the home of Montana State Uni
versity, was proposed as its site.
Later, Glacier National Park was
considered, but the final choice
was Browning, the agency head
quarters for the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation"
Scenery is but one of the many
impressive points about the mu,
scum, which was first opened to
the public in 1941. The architec-
ture, interior design and display
technique reflect the excellent
taste and scholarship that have
gone into its planning. In its
emphasis, it comes as delight
to the tourist who most often
sees only the unofficial Indian
museums and .garish trading
posts along major highways in
the West"
The first paragraph of the de
scription of the interior begins
Both the carvings and the muir
ais trimming the large, white
walled lobby are the work OF
Blackfeet artists. The murals de
pict an Indian buffalo hunt and
are executed in a colorful, neo
primitive style"
Outside the museum building
are additional displays. A meet

for a gross recovery of about

pursuant to Section 2 of the In
dian Claims Commission Act.
Portions of the opposition to
the motion for extension of time
are quoted: Testimony in this
case was taken in a hearing in
Denver, Colo, in August 1857.
Thereafter, on December %, 1858

and oral argument was held be-
fore the Commission 0ndian
Claims Commission on February
26, 1859. The motion to reopen
the record was granted by the
Commission on May 26, 1859. Ad-
ditional testimony was taken,
and the record was again closed
on November 10, 1889"
THE time for the filing Of
petitioners proposed findings
and brief was set for February
8. 1860. Petitioners sought and
obtained extensions of time to
May 5. 1860. Petitioners propos-
ed findings of fact and brief were
filed on May 4, 1860, approx
mately six months following the
closing of the record"
This means the defendant has
now had in excess of l6 months
for preparation and submission
of its requested findings, objec-
tons and brief in addition to the
six months available to it while
petitioners were proceeding with
preparations and filing of their
proposed findings of fact and
brief - a total of approximate
ly % months"
"On several occasions, counsel
for petitioners have adjusted
work loads in anticipation that
defendants proposed findings,
objections and brief would be
filed. Such planning goes for
naught as additional motions for
extensions are filed"
Respecting the overall content
of the opposition, the final para
graph states, "The premises con-
sidered, it is suggested that the
time requested by counsel for
defendant be limited to less than
