Description:

The letter from Mr. Forbis expresses concern about Indian militants occupying private property and questions why they are allowed to do so without consequences. The response from the Bureau of Indian Affairs acknowledges the issue and explains that a commission has been established to review the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes in order to recommend necessary changes. The Bureau agrees that the take-overs are wrong and should not be permitted, but also emphasizes the need for prudent action to prevent bloodshed.
