Description

This report, dated January 12, 1954, from John Cragun to the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation gives an update on the status of the Tribes' claims to the Indian Claims Commission. The report reiterates that Crogun's firm expects the Claims Commission to rely on the outcome of the Blackfeet case to decide the Fort Berthold claim. The report also summarizes the Three Affiliated Tribes' claim, which has to do with damages sustained due to the delay between the time their lands were taken and the time the Court of Claims awarded them payment. The letter concludes by saying that the firm expects a decision from the Court of Claims soon.
