Letter to John Happy Camp from Uncovering the Truth: Testimony of Congressman Lloyd Meeds on H.R. 1444 and Indian Claims Commission Awards, 1971-03-18
Scope and Contents
Congressman Lloyd Meeds testified in support of H.R. 1444, which aims to distribute awards from the Indian Claims Commission to the Snohomish, Upper Skagit, and Snoqualmie-Skykomish Tribes. The legislation would benefit descendants of these tribes, regardless of blood degree, and ensure fair distribution of funds. Meeds presented the positions of the Snohomish and Upper Skagit Tribes, who favored limiting distribution to individuals not affiliated with other tribal groups. He urged the Committee to approve the legislation to ensure a just disposition of the judgment funds.
