The Future of Indian Affairs: A Call for Change, 1946-02-27 - 1946-02-27

The letter discusses the Indian Claims bill and the need for a fair way to handle Indian claims. The writer, George B. Schwabe, expresses support for a tribunal to hear and pass upon claims, as endorsed by both major political parties. He acknowledges the challenges in determining which Indians or tribes are entitled to the money and seeks input on alternative solutions. Schwabe emphasizes the importance of fair dealing between the Indians and the United States and the need to prevent grafting by unscrupulous lawyers and promoters.
