Scope and Contents

Morris Thompson, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, testifies in support of bill H.R. 4016 to distribute funds to pay judgments in favor of the Sac and Fox Indians from Indian Claims Commission dockets. The bill divides funds based on 1937 census rolls, with the Sac and Fox Tribe of Oklahoma agreeing to this division. There were previous proposals for different divisions based on different criteria, but the current proposal is based on the 1937 census rolls. Thompson opposes using the 1891 and 1892 allotment and annuity rolls as a basis for division.
