The Pawnee Indian Tribe of Oklahoma filed a claim against the United States regarding the inadequate compensation for the cession of their land. The Indian Claims Commission amended findings of fact related to the treaty agreements and payments made to the tribe. The total consideration for the land cession was deemed inadequate and unconscionable. The United States was credited for fulfilling perpetual annuity obligations, resulting in a total credit of $2,144,281.20. The Commission concluded that the compensation provided for the land cession was grossly inadequate.
