![["The document is a report from the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs recommending the passage of H.R. 3306, a bill to grant the Pueblo de Taos Indians trust title to 50,000 acres of federally owned land that was taken from them without compensation. The document outlines the history of the land, the significance of the area to the Pueblo, and the controversy surrounding its use and management. The committee concludes that the land should be returned to the Pueblo, as they have a greater need for it than the public."]](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_0011_thumbnail.jpg "\"1968 Congressional Report on Amending Section 4 of The Act of May 31, 1933: Granting Trust Title to Pueblo de Taos Indians for")
![["The Taos Pueblo Council is advocating for the restoration of the Blue Lake Area, which was seized unjustly by the Federal Government. They support H.R. 471, which would place 48,000 acres of the area in trust for their people and maintain it as a wilderness. They oppose Senator Anderson's proposal, which would reduce the protected wilderness area to 4,600 acres and allow commercial harvesting of timber. They argue that the entire Rio Pueblo watershed holds religious significance for their tribe and should be protected."]](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_0005_thumbnail.jpg "\"Struggle for Blue Lake: The Taos Pueblo Council's Fight for Sacred Land\"")
