Today, what i want to do is talk about the Indian Claims Commission as a means of continuing our discussion, the mid20th century, the Indian Claims Commission is something that is often not people dont spend a lot of time on.

It also illustrates very clearly the limitations on tribal sovereignty that the federal government puts in place, legislation that might seem to empower indian people, but also has real limitations on. And then we will spend time today talking about one particular claim, the most controversial one, it lasted half a century. That c
We will start with background information, talk about the Indian Claims Commission in general and claims process and how that worked and move into and indepth look at a particular claim.

Individual citizens did. 1855, claims followed a particular process, individual acts of congress. Before we Start Talking about those private hills, one thing to keep in mind, the idea of sovereign immunity.

I was working fulltime and attending Indiana Law School at night and that didnt leave much time for marcia in to enjoy the amenities of indianapolis.
