![["Mr. Jim Snow, Jr. inquired about obtaining an Indian allotment on Forest Service lands in Oklahoma. The Forest Service explained that all lands suitable for agricultural settlement have been settled or allotted, and there are no lands available for homesteading or allotment purposes. The Forest Homestead Act of 1906 did not provide homesteading rights for Indians, and the lands in question were reacquired by the United States for specific purposes and are not open for settlement. The Forest Allotment Act of 1910 allowed eligible Indians to obtain allotments on National Forest lands, but all lands classified for agricultural settlement have been settled or allotted. Congress repealed the 1906 act in 1962 because its purpose had been fulfilled. The Forest Service expressed understanding for the frustrations of those who obtain Certificates of Eligibility but find no lands available for agricultural settlement."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_52_33_0000-Interior%20-%20Indian%20Affairs,%201965/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_52_33_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Claim for Attorney Fees: Bauman vs. C-C Nations")
