Description:

Various letters regarding the distribution of the Court of Claims award in favor of the Pawnee Tribe are discussed. Members of the tribe are requesting a per capita payment of the settlement rather than being enrolled in a program, and there is discussion of a cutoff date for distributing the funds. The Bureau of Indian Affairs authorizes a per capita payment of approximately $3,500 to enrolled members of the tribe. Congressman Carl Albert offers to assist with any issues related to the distribution of the award.
