Staff Only

The text contains a discussion of a potential claim by the Cherokee Tribe to 574,705.50 acres of land. The issue is whether or not the Department of the Interior should undertake to verify the calculations from Land Office records and other sources. There is a subsidiary question of whether or not the United States Government owes the acreage differential (or the true differential, whatever it may be) or its value to the Tribe.
