![["The document discusses the forced removal of various Indian tribes from different sections of the United States to Oklahoma, formerly Indian Territory, over a period of 450 years. The total population of these tribes was estimated to be around 78,661, with a loss of over 200,000 due to conflicts and removals. This relocation was primarily driven by President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Bill in 1830, which favored Indian removal to secure land for white settlers. The document also describes how states like Georgia and Mississippi took advantage of the situation to exploit Indian lands and resources, leading to further loss of rights and population for the tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0012_thumbnail.jpg "THE FORCED REMOVAL OF NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES TO OKLAHOMA")

It requires Oklahoma Indians to renounce tribal allegiance and federal benefits in order to receive benefits under the proposed act. The bill also gives Oklahoma Indians possession of their lands and moneys, places properties on tax rolls, safeguards the interests of minors and mentally incompetent adult Indians, and provides for payment of any money due to the Federal Government. Additionally, the bill transfers federal properties to the Veteran's Administration and the State of Oklahoma, repeals conflicting acts, and provides for the final settlement of claims of Oklahoma Indian tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Proposed Legislation for Final Settlement of Oklahoma Indian Claims")
