![["This bill provides for the final settlement of claims by Oklahoma Indian tribes against the Federal government, discharge of federal supervision over Oklahoma Indians, determination of heirs, disposal of federal property and records, and other purposes. It authorizes the payment of $3,000 to each enrolled Oklahoma Indian, removes restrictions on their lands and money, and directs the distribution of tribal money to members or their heirs. Failure to claim money within a specified time may result in transfer to the state of Oklahoma for distribution."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Final Settlement and Discharge of Federal Supervision over Oklahoma Indian Tribes")
![["The document discusses the forced removal of various Indian tribes from different sections of the United States to Oklahoma, formerly Indian Territory, over a period of 450 years. The total population of these tribes was estimated to be around 78,661, with a loss of over 200,000 due to conflicts and removals. This relocation was primarily driven by President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Bill in 1830, which favored Indian removal to secure land for white settlers. The document also describes how states like Georgia and Mississippi took advantage of the situation to exploit Indian lands and resources, leading to further loss of rights and population for the tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_52_0012_thumbnail.jpg "THE FORCED REMOVAL OF NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES TO OKLAHOMA")

![["The document outlines a proposed bill that aims to settle all claims of every Indian tribe in Oklahoma without the need for additional rolls of Indians. It requires Oklahoma Indians to renounce tribal allegiance and federal benefits in order to receive benefits under the proposed act. The bill also gives Oklahoma Indians possession of their lands and moneys, places properties on tax rolls, safeguards the interests of minors and mentally incompetent adult Indians, and provides for payment of any money due to the Federal Government. Additionally, the bill transfers federal properties to the Veteran's Administration and the State of Oklahoma, repeals conflicting acts, and provides for the final settlement of claims of Oklahoma Indian tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_54_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Proposed Legislation for Final Settlement of Oklahoma Indian Claims")

A proposed solution is the creation of an Indian Claims Commission, which has bipartisan support and is seen as the most feasible plan. The Commission would allow legitimate claims to be presented within five years and decided upon within ten years, putting an end to the exploitation of Indians by those seeking to profit from soliciting funds for unsubmitted claims.
