Staff Only

The author, Aline Main Kaase, is a member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians and is writing to Representative James R. Jones to express concern about House Bill No. 3866, which would give Delaware Tribal money to non-Delaware people. The author also mentions a 1977 Supreme Court decision that recognized the Delaware Tribe as a federally recognized tribe, but the Bureau of Indian Affairs is now contradicting this recognition. The author requests that Representative Jones vote for a Delaware Tribal recognition bill and asks for an independent study of the tribe.
