George Bird Grinnell initially declined Samuel Brosius’s offer to investigate the conditions at Standing Rock Indian Reservation because traveling to the reservation is very inconvenient. However, if Grinnell is appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate, he will go out of a sense of duty. Grinnell suggests times when he can meet with the president the following week.
