Show gradual acquisitions of Western Shoshone lands after October 1, 1863, without proper payment to the plaintiff. Nothing in the Indian Claims Commission Act authorizes the restoration of lands to Indian claimants, The r'.-redy which this Com •/.is si on may provide if: to fla.1 as 1 award toe value of land, tribal title to which has been extinguished. Congress!, oal action is the only means by which tribal title in former aboriginal Icr.er, might be restored to' the Western Shoshones. The petitioners request the Commission to suspend further action in this proceeding until the United States District Court for the Nevada District has decided the trespass action brought by the United States for a restraining order and for a permanent injunction against two individual Western Shoshones in the case of United States v. Dann, Civil No. R-74-60, BRT, (D. Nev.). The case assertedly involves the right of two Indians to use for their own grazing purposes, without permission of the United States, lands within the boundaries of plaintiff's former aboriginal lands which are now claimed and managed by the United States as public land. As the plaintiff has noted, individual Indians have no ownership interest or title in tribal lands. The District Court proceeding involving the legality of the use of plaintiff's former aboriginal lands outside of the reservation areas, by individual Western Shoshone Indians, docs not raise issues which seem to us to warrant further delaying the proceedings before this Commission involving a tribal claim seoiust the. United States. |
