Lame Deer Cheyenne Arapaho Seek Court of Claims Action
Delegation from Lame Deer Mont along with Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians asked Congress to enact H KR 2775 to submit their land and minerals claims to the Court of Claims. They argue treaties since 1867 deprived them of proper rights and compensation, citing land outside reservation and 1869 executive orders. Representative O Connor and attorney F M Goodwin explained history from 1825 to 1868 and the complex treaty system, noting potential payoffs could reach millions while many claims remain unpaid.
