Letter on H.R. 471: Proposed Amendments and Recommendations for Land Trust for the Pueblo of Taos Indians, 1967-01-01 - 1974-12-31
The document is a response from the Department of the Interior regarding a bill to amend the Act of May 31, 1933, to grant trust title to the Pueblo de Taos Indians for a 48,000-acre area within the Carson National Forest. The bill aims to allow the Pueblo to use the land for traditional purposes only, maintain conservation measures, and potentially purchase relinquishments of non-Indian leases. The background of the area, legal claims by the Taos Indians, and the religious significance of the land are also discussed. The Department strongly recommends the enactment of the bill with two technical amendments.
