George Kennan discusses the issue of government land leases with the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Kennan suggests that an outside investigator (George B. Grinnell), not someone from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, be sent to investigate the land leases on the reservation. He mentions an unnamed investigator whose testimony changed when in front of his superior. Kennan also mentions a letter from Mary C. Collins, a missionary, regarding admissions by Agent Bingenheimer that he has had published in the Outlook.
