U
Kansas Indians claim share of $9 million
Editor
By KATHY SOKOL
Staff Writer
The Supreme Court agreed recently to decide whether Kansas Delaware Indians are constitutionally entitled to share $2.1 million awarded by the Indian Claims Commission.
The Claims Commission award was based on a finding that the United States reneged on a promise to the Delaware in 1854 to sell for public auction the benefit of the tribes.
In a treaty signed May 6, 1854, the Delawares were compelled to authorize then-President James Buchanan to offer acreage from their reservation for sale at public auction—except for a strip 40 miles long and 10 miles wide.
Analysis
This tract was called a "diminished reserve" and the Hawkers were given the power to kill it.
smaller property as their own, Rita Napier,
assistant professor of history, said.
Instead of selling the land at auction, the government paid the Indians $10,000. The Indian Claims Commission found that the tract of land, containing more than a million acres, was worth at least $617,980 at 1854 land prices.
Before the Treaty of 1854 was ratified by the Senate, Admiral Ackermann had already appointed him as flagmaster.
Other treaties were signed on May 30, 1860, and July 2, 1861. A final one was signed at the Delaware Agency in Kansas on July 4, 1866.
In appropriating funds to pay the award, Congress limited distribution to the Cherokee Delaware and Absentee Delaware tribes. leaving out the Kansas Delaware
"The legal question involved in the suit brought by about 600 descendants of the Kansas Delaware is determining who is a member of the tribe," Naiad said.
The Absentee and Cherokee Delawares are the descendants of those who went to
Oklahoma rather than remain in Kansas and give their tribal membership in 1866.
The government excluded the Kansas Delaware from the award because in 1866 their ancestors chose to remain in Kansas their tribe with the rest of their tribe to Oklahoma.
Bruce Miller Townsend, chairman of the Delaware Tribal Business Committee, criticized the Kansas Delawares' claim in a lawsuit to Delwieres who received the award.
"Present-day descendants from the expatriated Kansas group had dissolved their relations with the Delaware tribe and their claim preposterous," the letter said.
"We are the only members of the Delaware Tribe, and we are the only persons, together with the Absentees, who sued the United States Government under the Commission Act, and without our efforts to defend it no judgment," Townsend's letter said.
The Kansas Delawareans say they are the true Delawares because, according to the State Dept., they have become members of the Cherokee Nation. Under the laws of the Cherokee Nation, the Delawares were to be governed by them, and the state government have any political identity of their own.
Napier said, "The government says the Kansas Delawares had to move with the tribe and the Kansas Delawares say they were members at the time of the treaty."
The amount to be awarded each individual depends upon the number of individuals.
The Kansas Delawares, because they were a slimmer group, weren't named in the draft.
The government argues that the decision could affect "the legality of thousands of Indian distributions involving hundreds of millions of dollars."
It said previous awards had been distributed without catch-all coverage for all descendants of the injured tribal members.
"they fight for compensation through the soi, means available to them," Napier said.
