Indian Claims Commission (United States)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian Claims Commission was created by the United States Congress in 1946 to hear claims of Indian tribes against the United States[1].
Public Law 94-465[2] terminated the Commission and transferred its pending docket of 170 cases to the United States Court of Claims on September 30, 1978.
