- Description:
- 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.
