Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adjustment of Claims of the Pottawatomie Indians in Wisconsin: H. R. 21219, Committee on Indian Affairs House of Representatives The subcommittee met at 10 o´clock a. m. Present: Representatives Howell (chairman), Morse, and Cravens. Present also: Mr. R. V. Belt, of Washington, D. C., attorney for the Pottawatomie Indians of Wisconsin and Canada; and Messrs. Charles J. Kappler and Charles H. Merillat, of Washington, D. C., associate counsel. The subcommittee thereupon proceeded to the consideration of the bill (H. R. 21219) providing for the adjustment of the claims of the Wisconsin band of Pottawatomie Indians for annuities and other moneys under treaty stipulations, and for other purposes. Statement of Mr. Charles H. Merillat, of the Law Firm of Kappler & Merrilat, of Washington. D. C. Mr. Merillat. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, we appear as attorneys for what are known as the stray bands of Wisconsin Pottawatomie Indians, at number of whom are resident in the State of Wisconsin at this time, and others of whom have gone to the Dominion of Canada and are. there more or less permanently. We come here and ask for the passage of the House bill which you have under consideration, and ask you to make an appropriation of about $457,000 for those Pottawatomie Indians who are now resident in Wisconsin: and we ask that you send to the Court of Claims the question of the rights of those Indians who emigrated to and are now in Canada, with the right of appeal on the part of either party to the Supreme Court of the United States. We have made this differentiation not because in our judgment there is any more doubt about the rights of those who are in Canada than there is about the rights of those who are in Wisconsin, as we have no doubt about the rights of either side. We think that as a matter of fact the Supreme Court of the United States and the Court of Claims, in what is known as the New York Indian case, has settled every question that is now before you.
