Indian Claims Commission Decisions

Oklahoma State University, following their terms and conditions of use, has digitized all 
of the Indian Claims Commission Decisions from 1948 through 1978. 
The collection is organized in volumes, 1-43, with each decision marked with 
the docket number and the plaintiff tribe and accessible through the page number to the right. 

The Indian Claims Commission was established in August of 1946 to "hear and determine [land] claims against the United States on behalf of any tribe, band, or other identifiable group of American Indians residing in the United States and filed within 5 years of the passage of the establishing act and was abolished by September 1978"
