The Seminole Freedmen

The text describes the efforts of the Dosar Barkus and Bruner bands of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma to secure inclusion in the final plan of distribution for a $16 million award from the Indian Claims Commission. The bands' lawyer argues that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs' recommendation to exclude the Freedmen from the distribution plan is based on incorrect information and precedent.
