- Description:
- The Office of Indian Affairs received a request from the House Committee on Indian Affairs regarding H. R. 9753, which deals with the Pawnee Tribe's claims against the United States. The tribe asserts claims for a shortage in the area of their reservation, fair payment for ceded lands, rights of way through their land, and reimbursement for counsel fees. After careful consideration, it is determined that the only valid claim is for the shortage in the reservation area, amounting to $6,000. It is recommended to amend the bill to appropriate $6,079.50 to settle the Pawnee Tribe's outstanding claims.
