![["This text is a bill introduced in the House of Representatives to amend section 4 of the Act of May 31, 1933, regarding the protection of the watershed within the Carson National Forest for the Pueblo de Taos Indians in New Mexico. The bill describes the specific lands and improvements held in trust for the tribe and outlines how the lands are to be administered and used for traditional purposes. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the lands as a wilderness and implementing conservation measures for their protection."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pueblo%20Del%20Taos%20Indians,%201967-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0003_thumbnail.jpg "\"Amendment of Act Protecting Watershed for Pueblo de Taos Indians: H.R. 471 of 91st Congress, 1st Session\"")
![["The Taos Pueblo tribe is appealing to the United States government to recognize their ownership of the Blue Lake area, which holds great cultural and spiritual significance to them. The area contains important shrines and sanctuaries for their religion and is essential to their way of life. The tribe relies on the land for food, water, and spiritual connection, and views it as their Indian church. They are asking for the government to acknowledge their connection to the land and respect their request to not sell their title to the area."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pueblo%20Del%20Taos%20Indians,%201967-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0010_thumbnail.jpg "\"An Appeal from Taos Pueblo: The Story of Blue Lake and its People\"")
![["The Taos Pueblo Indians were granted a 50-year renewable use right to 30,000 acres of land, which was later increased to 37,000 acres, including the Blue Lake religious shrine. The Indian Claims Commission upheld the Indians' claim to approximately 130,000 acres of land, with 50,000 acres being discussed for conveyance to the Indians. The legislation would transfer the entire Blue Lake Area to Taos Pueblo by trust patent to protect their religious practices and cultural heritage. The Pueblo Council argues that ownership of the land is necessary to preserve their religious privacy and natural ecology, as well as to advance the welfare of their community. The Forest Service's administration of the area has been problematic, leading the Pueblo to seek return of the land."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pueblo%20Del%20Taos%20Indians,%201967-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_11_0015_thumbnail.jpg "\"Expansion of Land Rights and Religious Freedoms for the Taos Pueblo Indians: A Review of H.R. 3306\"")
