The text is a series of letters and memorials regarding the need for increased appropriations to address claims filed by various Indian tribes with the Indian Claims Commission. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes is requesting funds to ensure speedy hearings and resolution of these claims, as the current appropriations are deemed inadequate. The committee highlights the backlog of claims and emphasizes the importance of providing sufficient resources for the Commission and the Department of Justice to effectively address these historical claims.
