![["The document describes the history of the Taos Pueblo Indians and their fight to regain control of their land. The land in question is the Blue Lake area, which is considered sacred by the tribe. The US government has been slowly taking away the tribe's land, and the tribe has been fighting to get it back. The most recent development is a bill that would give the tribe control of the Blue Lake area, but the US Forest Service is opposing the bill. The tribe believes that the entire watershed is sacred, not just specific locations, and that anything that harms the watershed hurts the tribe."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "H.R. 7093 - Osage Judgment Distribution and Use")

![["Jerry V. Wilson, Chief of Police, testified before the House Subcommittee on Indian Affairs on December 5, 1972 regarding his involvement in the decision-making process surrounding the government's response to the occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) building by a group of Native Americans. Wilson stated that it has been longstanding policy for his department not to take positive police action against demonstrators or trespassers, except at the request of the officials in charge of the premises or in support of an order from a court. He explained that his primary role in the situation was in planning for the aggressive repossession of the BIA building, in the event that a decision was made to take such action. Wilson indicated that he would be happy to answer any questions the subcommittee might have."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_5_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Trail%20of%20Broken%20Treaties%20Caravan,%20Hearings,%201972-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_5_0016_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Affairs Subcommittee Hearings")
