![["The text discusses Senator Nelson's Indian land grab bill 2498, which aims to take land from various Indian reservations in Wisconsin for conservation purposes. The Chippewa and Woodland Indians of Wisconsin are concerned about the impact this bill will have on their heritage and rights. They argue that the Department of Interior has already taken a significant amount of Indian land in the state, leaving them with limited space for burial and future generations. They urge the Senate to defeat the bill and respect their treaties and rights to the sacred earth."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_41_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%201966/thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_41_15_0034_thumbnail.jpg "An Appeal Against Indian Land Grab: The Dispute over Wisconsin Senator Nelson's Bill 2498")
