Description
This undated statement by United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick concerns "Indian claims." Burdick writes that indigenous populations have just claims against the US government for millions of dollars as a result of treaties, citing examples of specific treaties including the 1868 treaty with the "Sioux at Fort Rice" and General Custer's 1874 violation of this treaty. He makes reference to planks he proposed for settling of all Indian claims that were adopted in part or fully by both the Republicans and Democrats and laments that neither party has redeemed their pledges.
