![["Congressman Carl Albert announced his plans to seek the enactment of three bills in the field of Indian affairs in the next Congress. The first bill aims to extend restrictions on members of the Five Civilized Tribes, the second bill will reopen the right to file claims before the Indian Claims Commission, and the third bill is focused on promoting the rehabilitation of members of the Five Civilized Tribes and other Indians in eastern Oklahoma. Albert emphasized the urgency of passing the first bill before the restrictions expire in April 1956 to prevent confusion and hardships for Oklahoma Indians. He also expressed his commitment to completing the work of the Indian Claims Commission and promoting the rehabilitation of the tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Speeches%20and%20Press%20Releases,%201927-1976%20-%20CAC_CC_001_16_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_001_16_11_140_0000-Press%20Releases-Indian%20Affairs,%201969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_16_11_140_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Native American Contract Award for Water Well Renovation")
![["The Pit River Indians historically occupied a large area of land in California, which was taken by the Federal Government without compensation. In 1938, funds were appropriated for the purchase of a reservation for the Pit River Indians, leading to the establishment of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation. However, there is a dispute over who should benefit from the reservation, with a small group known as the Pit River Home and Agricultural Cooperative Association monopolizing the land. This group has excluded other Pit River Indians from the reservation, leading to bitterness and resentment among the community. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has shown favoritism towards the Association, further exacerbating the dispute. There are also concerns about the lack of communication and resources provided to the broader Pit River Tribe. Overall, there is a complex and ongoing dispute over the ownership and management of the XL Ranch Indian Reservation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Pit%20River%20Indians%20Correspondence,%20Injunction,%20Background,%201969-1970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_12_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Dispute over XL Ranch Indian Reservation: Historical Injustices and Current Controversies")
