- Description:
- The document discusses a bill that was reported out of the House Committee on Indian Affairs creating an Indian Claims Commission. The bill aims to provide a better system for handling Indian claims, as the current process is deemed inadequate. The document discusses the history of Indian claims and the challenges faced in obtaining successful settlements. The proposed bill would establish a Commission to handle claims in a more efficient and fair manner. The author, George B. Schwabe, expresses openness to considering alternative plans if they are presented.
