This undated document is a draft of a bill to establish a procedure for the taking of Indian lands. This draft bears considerable similarity to US Public Law 81-437, which came to be known as the Taking Act. It identifies procedures and mechanisms by which the Tribes are to be compensated for lands and mineral rights, along with the costs for relocating residents, cemeteries, monuments, and shrines. The bill draft also includes provisions for land appraisal and adjudication in the event an appraisal is rejected by a tribal member.
