The Apache tribe in the South- west has filed a claim for virtually all of the State of New Mexico, more than half of Arizond, including the townsite of Phoenix and a wide strip of western? 4 PN 1 Te: The Federated Indians of California have laid Editor and Menager | Claim to all of that State except lands held by Ma o4 Spaniards before 1848. The Indian Claims Commission was assigned by, Congress the task of hearing and deciding such claims as these brought against the United States by Indian tribal groups. A statute enacted in 1863 had barred Indians. from bringing suit in the United States Court of Claims without a special act of Congress. Because this process was so cumbersome, many claims which might have been advanced with justice never reached the court. The commission now is empowered to consider all claims originating before August 13, 1946, Claims arising thereafter may be presented directly to the Court of Claims. The claims on file asserting Indian rights to whole States or most of States are, of course, preposterous. Our California neighbors do not seem unduly per- turbed over the prospect of giving most of their State back to the Indians. The commission's responsibility is to sift the merit of these claims and dispose of them justly. It is not to be supposed that all of New Mexico or a large part of California will be wrested from their present owners. Meanwhile, however, the ambitious assertions of | the continental tribes should serve as incentive to| early settlement of the question of aboriginal rights in Alaska.
