The bill aims to protect restricted Indians from the sale, lease, or encumbrance of their lands and has received support from various tribes and organizations. The Congressman emphasizes the importance of passing the legislation before the current law expires in order to prevent difficulties in the future. The bill will not change current laws regarding the removal of restrictions.

Over 15 million acres of land were allotted to the Five Civilized Tribes, but now less than one million acres are restricted. Only around 12,000 Indians still own restricted lands, and there is widespread agreement that legislation is needed to protect them.

Native American Legal Defense and Education Fund (NALDEF) has four main goals: to monitor the activities of the Federal government to make sure Indian interests are protected; to provide legal assistance to Native Americans at the local level; to litigate or help others litigate important legal issues affecting all Native Americans; and to provide competent, effective legal assistance to Native Americans at the local level. AIO is sponsoring a seminar on Indian Claims to bring together representatives of tribes with claims pending before the commission, members of the commission, legislative persons who draft Congressional appropriations, and investment experts. The seminar will provide an opportunity for tribal representatives to more fully understand the claims process and to discuss their problems with each other and with experts. Text
