The undersigned Pit River Indians petition Congress for fair treatment regarding their claim to the XL Ranch Indian Reservation. They explain their position in the attached document Background of the Dispute Concerning the XL Ranch Indian Reservation and urge Congress not to take any action which would prejudice the rights of the Pit River people to their homeland. Therefore, H.R. 13930 should be adopted only to add land to the Reservation to be held in trust for such bands of Pit River Indians in the State of California as the Secretary of the Interior shall designate in accordance with the Indian Reorganization Act, as the Reservation is now held. No bill should be adopted which would designate beneficiaries. Such a designation should be made only after all concerned Indians have had a chance to be heard.
