1922 Industrial Survey of Domonick Stevens

"It is hardly fair to make a report on this family as Indians. Mrs. Stevens' mother was a member of the tribe. She married a white man some 50 or more years ago. He was a thrift pioneer along the Yellowstone River. They lived entirely as white people and had the advantages of such schools as there were in those days. Mrs. Stevens is one of the four daughters of that marriage. Her husband is a white man who has had lots of experience in the stock business and applies himself to it much better than most of the men married in the tribe. They have the most excellent opportunity, well up the creek near the mountains, good pasture close by, good hay land, and they have had special range privileges all these years. They should have been rich. However, like white people, they wanted to get rich too fast and borrowed money when cattle were extremely high and are now considerably embarrassed. They have a good place and work hard. They deserve to succeed, but to all essential purposes, they are white people."
