It authorizes the payment of $3,000 to each enrolled Oklahoma Indian, removes restrictions on their lands and money, and directs the distribution of tribal money to members or their heirs.

![["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")
