Indian claims bill to open Court of Claims for tribes
A proposed measure aims to let American Indian nations file claims against the United States in the Court of Claims with appeals to the Supreme Court. It would authorize suits for misappropriation of lands or money, set rules for attorney contracts, and allow offsets for prior payments. The act would require five year limits on pre act claims and fix fee structures. Owl s Nest notices invite members to meetings on the 2nd and 4th Mondays with F J Swift as president and Harry Nelson as secretary.
