Indian Claims Commission: A Legal Perspective
Item — Box: 6, Folder: 53
Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_6_53_0004
This text discusses the establishment of the Indian Claims Commission and the challenges faced by Indian claimants seeking redress for unfair treatment by the government. It examines the defense of former adjudication and the limitations imposed by jurisdictional acts on the Court of Claims. The authors argue for the need for a new forum to address claims based on fair and honorable dealings, not just legal or contractual obligations. The text also mentions the Alcea Band of Tillamook's case as an example of the limitations of the Court of Claims.
