 The Senate Indian Committee responded with a request to the Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs Charles J. Rhoades to “kindly furnish for the use of the Committee, the name of the Supervisor and other officers who were responsible for the issuance of patent in fee to Peter Tail Feathers, Blackfeet Allotment No. 367. Question No. 2: History pertaining to the patent that was issued to Peter Tail Feathers, the Office is advised that I am enclosing herewith a copy of Peter Tail Feathers’ application for a patent in fee, and a copy of the report of the Supervisor in Charge, who evidently left the way open for this patent to be issued. This man is a crippled full blood, ignorant Indian, does not speak English and does not even write his name. The justification of the Supervisor in saying that he appeared to be able to take care of this land quite evidently gave to the Department the wrong impression of this man’s ability. There was apparently no justification for such a statement being made about him and the very opposite is true. It would seem that to any right-thinking public official that this man would give the impression that he was not able to take care of his affairs in any particular.”
