{EXCERPTED FROM On
This Date In North American Indian History
By Phil Konstantin}
1904: By Executive Order today, a tract of land in
Nebraska which had been set aside for the Pine Ridge school reservation
be placed back into the public domain. This order will be modified on February
20, 1904.
RELEVANT LINKS:
1968: The United States Indian Claims Commission,
today, decrees that the MESCALERO APACHEs of New Mexico should receive
$8,500,000 for lands taken from them in the 1800s. The MESCALEROs refuse
the largesse because, by law, they cannot share the money with the LIPAN,
and CHIRICAHUA APACHEs. A future ruling would allow this.

HEATING FUND
Emergency heating funds....the weather has turned
sharply colder and it appears that it will be a much colder winter than
the last few we have experienced creating an incredible hardship for many.
Money orders sent to the Grass Roots Oglala Lakota
Oyate will be distributed (or paid on account) for those in need of heating
assistance. In effect we will be creating a "voucher" system.
Your donation may be of any amount and several put together to meet minimums
necessary for orders.
