Item — Box: 5, Folder: 49

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_49_0005

Scope and Contents

The Secretary of the Interior, Ray Lyman Wilbur, transmits a memorandum from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs regarding H. R. 9753, a bill to confer jurisdiction on the Court of Claims to hear and determine certain claims of the Pawnee Indians against the United States. The memorandum outlines the claims of the Pawnee tribe, including a shortage in the area of their reservation and various land payment disputes. The Commissioner recommends amending the bill to authorize an appropriation of $6,079.50 to settle the outstanding claims of the Pawnee Tribe, rather than referring the claims to the Court of Claims. It is suggested that the bill be amended to title it as a relief bill for the Pawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma.
