House of Representativeo,:

of the Committee on Interior
and Znsular Affairs,
Washington, D. C.

The subcommittee met,,pursuant.to reoess, at:100l a.m.,

. th committee room, New House Office Building, Honorable

,.::
' A. Haley (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

:r. Haley. The Interior and Insular Affairi Subcommitteo

i: inJian Affairn will be in order.

!,'; have under discussion for the committee this morning

:. :T.3608. I believe we had finished going over the amendment

~d by the Department of the Interior.


pxc')o;

Berry.
MI.'. The first amendment is whether it should be

" ;.ic're-fourths vote~or a majority vote. The Department has

roia:nded a majority, and the Indians, because of their treaty,

:;;ich provides three-fourths of the male members, stuck to the

.:t; e-fourthe figure. I do not think it makes much difference


:.;c.uo, in the instanoo of the Cheyenne, Congress stayed-bytt e

:;'ordlnS of this bill, and they adopted it by about 93 percent,

I boltove. So I do not think it makes too much difference.

hr. Haley. Mr. Sigler,-would the adoption of this

:.., :;.cition on-the basis of majority vote violate a treaty we

STATEMENT OF LEWIS SIOLER, SOLIOI'IORtS OFfPXCE,
DEPARTI4E1IT OF THE INTERIOR.

Mr. Sigler. In my judgment, it would not, Mr. Chairman.


wAt thoro are others who disagree with me.
Mr. Siskc. Mr. Chairman?

- Mr. Haley. The gentleman from California.

14r. Siskc.On the basis -of' that, would an amendment ot


:mendmant be in order? B that, i mean an amendment to thij
twro oned amendment by the Department.
Mr. Haley. Ir somebody will offer'the arendt'neit~. I "thin
tormine'what,'
-4o an get into this thing.- I wanted first to do
-1o. Sigler's opinion was, and ho says there would be-'no violi 1
to~01' the treaty,, but--there are other people who di~agree
..;tth him.

Is Mr. Abbott out in the office?


:1r. Taylor. He has'gone over to the Rules Committee.

IVt~. Haley. Did via-propound that question to him on Monric1j


an ,_(lid he_ give an answer?
Mr. Taylor. I do not recall.

1.1r. Berry.The treaty cays three-fourthsj of the male nom,

.,c
,P .a.ntained it as it i 'in sootion 1.

Dr. Miller. Will the gentleman yield?

Mr. Berry. Yes.

SDr. Miller. In the case of the Cheyenne Indians we iain-


'in
.i three-fourths "of the male?

Mrr. Berry. The'wording in this bill.

D r. Miller. And that' is the wording in -the treaty?

S Mr. Berry. NO. We said three-fourth' of all. The

j:Cheyonno law says it shall"be adopted by a three-fourths of all.

jTheo wording of the Cheyenne'bill is identical withthe wording


-' thia bill. At that time the Department made the same

f;recoinmondation, I think.

Di. Miller. Does the gentleman think it is wise to change

;.he forn in the treaty? Would that cause any dissensioI

S Mr. Berry. It would oause, in my Judgment, unnecoooary.

:iissoen.ion and possibly heap more coal on the Congress for doing

co;:T..h-ing they did not have'to do.

- D.-Miller. The Congressy-howeverhae-pasoed-thebil-fO

it Chyoenno?

Mr. Borry. Yes.

Dr. Miller. And if we are going to follow the same patter,

S.ts;aie to follow that pattern instead of going back to the

pa-rn seuet up in the treaty?

-!.Berry. I would recommend this, although the Departmen,


H -r.OOUCEO
AT WIE 'IATlONAL .APCHIlVE 70

not.

Dr. Miller. I wonder if the Department could tell un wyihy

, h.y are changing the pattern from what was in the Cheyenne

1:r. Haley. Mr. Siglor, can you answer tht?

I:r, Sigler. Yes, Mr. Chairman. The treaty that you are

.-:.'<rring to, Dr. Millor, has a provision in it to the effect

t
'i::t no further session of land by the Cheyenne Riiver Tribe

,; Ji b2 effected unless approved-by throoefourtho of the adult

:dl3o members. Now a vote f' three-fourths of the adult male

meirbrs -- first, thief is not acossion of land. This'is a'.


Uonc3saonal Act taking the land and paying the Indians for it

noro
out, i..portantly, a three-fourths vote of the male member

is not practical and is not:recommendod by anybody. The Tribo

itsolf in recommending a departure from that requirement in th<

trc:any.

I would like to suggest, I think the Department is:not


!
colly seriously interested in whether the vote is three-fourtts

. o a majority. We recommended a majority of all members, not

,ijunt the male members, because we thought it was uore democrat c

iand Iaoro practical. But ifthere is opposition to a majority

ivoto, I am sure the Department would have no strenuous opposition

to that change.

I do wish to call your attention to the fact that our

fir:i .amendment'ddaeamore. than just change that three-fourths

*.4.-

,roviion; it converts the bill into the usual pattern of

i.-ilation rather than a negotiated agreement, which ai isrth

,nture of a treaty, and Congress quit making treaties ith

iniano and agreements of this kind many years ago.

Dr. Miller. Thank you,

Mr. Sisk. Will the gentleman yield?

,r. Berry. Yes.

MIr. Sisk. On the point that has just been trade by Mr.

irloer, I want to bring out that actually, so far as the langge -

I.n thoir proposed amendment, which is a substitution for sae'ti


j

., I was wondering if the author of the bill would object to -4

in vie of the faot the amendment has not been'offered' I cannot

off.r a substitute amendment. I had in mind an amendment whio

,:ould simply strike out "majority".and put in "ratified and

op:-ovc-d in writing by three-quarters", which would bring it

.o:: in line with the treaty we are disusing. I wonder if t

- tcir of the bill feels a substitution like that for the

-:.:-rt'.nt'o proposal for section 1, with the amendment I Just


; u--O -., would=bring it-in-line with what-you -fel-wouild-b .--

:.r. Borry. I would disagree with both you and the counsel

C..ds3ate-- think you are wrong. I think it might be better if

t' c :ihole thing were drafted as legislation instead of an

i:,rco;.: t. But in that event we are going to have to change th

:.t-:o :ill. Section 2 starts out "The United States agrees to


' 'RCOOueo AT THEHAT IOUAL AfHIVES -'

pay", and section 3, "The United States further agroo to ',;.t

j appropriate." If you are going to change one section, do you

.;;ot have to change all of them, Mr. Sigler?

Mr. Sigler. No, I think not, Mr. Berry.

SMr. Berry. All the rost of it is in that form.


* Mr. Sigler. Thero is no reason why the United States

.:.:.nt agree to pay something without having to start'off with"

t'1i usual contract form. I would like to call your attention

Sto tho fact that the next two bills you take up, the Crow Creol

n-:,d Lower Brule, must be converted because the United States

Shi already condemned the'land and taken it, and the agreement

f'onr will not fit those at all. I believe Mr. Case will agree

i:th no on those two. If you are going to do it for those two

.I; seems to me you might Just as well dc it for this one.

Mr. Berry. All right. Let's change it to three-fourths,

mr. Sisk, I am not adamant, I am just meroiy auggeting

:It as a remedy in order to comply with the treatylaw, which

:. am rather opposed to tinkering with. I feel it is not good.

Mr. Haley. We still are in discussion here. I think the

fir3t thing to do is for somebody to offer the amendment.


S I will offer the amendment proposed by the Department.

On pages 1 and 2, revise section 1 to road in its entirety as

follous:

"title to all tribal, allotted, assigned, and inherited

Sr. Berry. All you have to do is insert the word !three-_

".h:hr'e,-fourths".. Is that correct?

ir.- Sisk. Then that would make 'it "accepted by a three-

SMr. Haley. As shown by:the tribal rolls of the reservation.


'REPAOOcWEo
AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVE"

i Mr. Aopinall. Mr. Chairman, I just wish to have a definl o

. rneratanding of.thio. This means a three-fourths majority f


all the Indians of the tribe entitled to vote who aresadults,

BI that correct? And whether they are on the reservation or

off the reservation, whether they are men or whether they are

w.or.o.n, :

Mr. Sisk. That is right. Their present cmondmont is

I'"of he adult Indians of the Standing Rook Reservation, as

shown by the tribal rolls of the reservation." I propose to

leanvo that language exactly as-it is. -

I.t. Haley, If I understand the gentleman from California,

jall ho is doing here is adding after the word."a"'on lire02,

"three-fourths". Is that right?

Mr. Sisk. That is right, Mr. Chairman, And the only

Purpose is to change it from a simple majority of, say, $1

pior.ent to, say, three-fourths, which will be in compliance

I.th the Treaty of 1867.

:. Haley. Is there any further discussion?

All those in favor of.the-anendment to the amendment say

Thoso opposed say "No."

Tho "Ayes" have it and it is so ordered.

.hat is your pleasure with the amendment?

Ilr. Sisk. I would move the amendment.

IMr. Berry. Second.

SdlCreot and indiret'damages sustained by the Indians.

Mr. Berry.
S This applies first to the-lanrd values, i.4i

I Chnirmin, and in that respect the bill does this: The bill

fiurea the land at t50 ana ore, and that is the figure, about

the average figure, that the:Federal Court has allowed on the

a;crcos that have gone to Federal Court.

The HRBI figured the value at $28-plus. -I wonder if it i ul

not be a good idea to have Governor Sharpe, who has tried a

nu.bcr of these cases in Federal Court -- would you care - to

hea. very briefly from Mr. Sharpe? .

SWhat are the faotors,'Mr. Sharpe, upon-which the Court hai

b?.,d thia $50 an acre value:in most of the oaseo that have becn

L .~;, or an average of $50"an acre?

In those cases each .aide was able to present what you
