June 13, 1975 - The governor wants to see elected tribal leadership have stronger leadership and redirect Washington influence that?s so dominant in their life. He?s against violence that occurred. AIM has called for tourist boycott, this hasn?t had any effect on the state but will have harmful effect on Indian people themselves. He rejects that South Dakota is Mississippi of the North. Says racial prejudice and injustice are part of society everywhere. Thinks racism is less in the state than other places. He doesn?t look down on anyone, any color, each should be judged on own merits. Prejudicial thinking comes from an early stage in life. If you strengthen your family life you will strengthen society and stop prejudices. He says low income and downtrodden people are in penitentiary, can?t gain legal means to stay out of that institution. Average Indian in state is in that category, not because of white people but because of ?an allowance to live under substandard conditions because of a guarantee and existence of a federal structure which is basically wrong.?

July 10, 1975 - Gresham Alexian Brothers spokesman reads statement about decision not to deed title of the novitiate property to the Menonomie Tribe. He says for the past six month they have consulted counsel, interested parties and Wisconsin governor's office. Efforts have shown it is impossible to deed title at this time. High cost for minimal maintenance estimated at $40,000 per year; tribe has indicated this provides additional financial burden. Implementation of programs would be impossible due to high cost for renovation and repair and zoning changes and tax regulations. Deeding now would divide the tribe as it seeks to comply with the Restoration Act. Adverse local non-Indian feelings would be heightened. This is contrary to Alexian Brothers desired goal. Although they've attempted to comply with terms of agreement such compliance is not possible but they feel condition of this agreement has been met as best as possible.
