The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.157

The Blackfeet Chiefs had adopted Mr. Cullen into the Blackfeet Tribe in a tribal ceremony by giving him the traditional Blackfeet name of “Chief Medicine Talk.” Councilman Leo Kennerly opened the meeting by stating, “We want to treat this meeting as strictly confidential because as soon as some of these stockmen and others know there is a possibility of getting financial aid to do our own developing for livestock, oil etc., we know what will immediately happen. I want to thank you gentlemen for coming in here. They [Cullen interests] haven’t arrived at any particular program but [we] have asked them what they think about it and what the possibilities are. I am going to begin by asking Mr. Cullen what his observations are.”
Mr. Cullen: “Gentlemen, we have spent several days now being conducted over the reservation, have seen practically all of it that can be seen in a short time and have quite closely observed what resources are available within the boundaries of the reservation. When I got to talking about this reservation while I was still in Houston, I was told by Mr. Chattin that they had tremendous possibilities which needed developing.
