Blackfeet Starvation Highlighted by James Willard Schultz
James Willard Schultz reports dire conditions of the Blackfeet on the Montana reservation. He cites loss of land through federal orders, starvation since 1880s, and poor support by the Indian Bureau. Schultz urges funding for the Blackfeet Indian Relief Fund and legal action to recover land value. He notes limited self sufficiency under new agent programs and calls for urgent aid.
