![["The letter is addressing the unfair recommendation made by the Interior Department to designate the Pit River Home and Agricultural Cooperative Association as the sole beneficiary of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation, excluding other members of the Pit River Tribe. The letter expresses disappointment in the lack of due process and requests that Congress allow the administrative proceeding to progress as sought in a federal lawsuit. The letter also includes background information and petitions circulating among Pit River Indians urging fair treatment in the decision-making process."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Protests Against Unfair Recommendations on XL Ranch Indian Reservation Expansion: An Open Letter to Honorable Harold T.

Despite facing challenges and rejection due to her skin color, LaDonna remains dedicated to her work and her husband's political endeavors."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Clippings,%20July,%201967-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0054_thumbnail.jpg "Behind the Scenes with LaDonna Harris: The Comanche Indian Wife of Senator Fred Harris")
