The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.108

They admitted that the Agent or Superintendent McFatridge through the testimony they gave before the joint commission to investigate Indian affairs, they also represented matters ten times worse than I did. Yesterday, the Blackfeet matters were discussed by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, wherein this McFatridge Delegation supported the wishes of the people all the way through with me, and they did not deny my credentials and the proceedings of the general council of the Black-feet Indians wherein we adopted the platform setting forth the reasons why our reservation should not be thrown open, which was signed by a large majority of the male adults of our tribe and which was to be transmitted by Supt. McFatridge to the Indian Office at Washington and the Interior Department and which document I found was never sent. All these proceedings were read and accepted by the Senate committee on Indian Affairs and went into the record, so there can be no further contradiction on the part of the McFatridge Delegation.

 I am now trying to appeal the act of 1907 providing for the allotment in severalty of land to the Blackfeet Indians so that the lands may never be thrown open to settlement. In conclusion, the victory is ours, and you men who have stood by the right and by your own people will always be highly respected by the members of Congress who have been with us in this fight. And those of you who have stood by the right may justly consider themselves the leaders of their tribe, and not among those who are controlled by the Indian agent. Very sincerely yours, Robert J. Hamilton.”
