![["Mrs. Gertrude L. Ray of Norman, Oklahoma, wrote a letter to Senator Fred Harris expressing concern about the poverty among American Indians, specifically the Northern Cheyenne Indians in Montana. She questioned why the federal government was sending funds to foreign countries while neglecting the needs of Native Americans in the United States. Mrs. Ray also criticized President Lyndon B. Johnson for not addressing the issue of Indian poverty and urged for a focus on domestic affairs before international involvement. She emphasized the importance of helping Native Americans and expressed worry about the rising cost of living and financial burden on future generations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_15_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Letter from Mrs. Gertrude L.
