Scope and Contents

In 1966, the Indian Claims Commission granted five awards totaling over $7.9 million to seven American Indian groups. The Ute Indians of Utah and Colorado also received a settlement of $4.4 million from the United States Court of Claims for a long-pending case. The Indian Claims Commission has granted a total of 88 awards totaling over $213 million as of January 1, 1967. The majority of claims are for the fair value of Indian lands ceded to or taken by the US government. The funds received are being invested in projects to improve social and economic conditions for Indian people, such as scholarships, social services, community centers, and tribal enterprises.
