Item — Box: 1, Folder: 69
Identifier: CAC_CC_001_16_1_69_0002
Since statehood, efforts have been made to free Native Americans from government control. Over 15 million acres of land were allotted to the Five Civilized Tribes, but now less than one million acres are restricted. Only around 12,000 Indians still own restricted lands, and there is widespread agreement that legislation is needed to protect them.
