I just wanted to pass this email on. Maybe somebody can help.
Just received an e-mail from a cousin who lives on Yankton Res. Apparently Congress is trying to Disestablish the Yankton tribe. I don't have the report but she is looking for documentation or oral histories, stories or competency papers of people signing to get their land out of trust and into fee? She is looking for 1920 to 1930 forced-fee- patents by coercion, duress or fraud documentation. A lot of people didn't know what they were signing and their land was taxed and foreclosed and then bought by white people or the county. This case is so important to the tribe in order to remain in existence. Please ask if anyone has these papers? Thank you so much for all your help. I will be sending my cousin the maps of reservation boundaries from Oyate. The maps are crucial. stephanie saucedo ssroonie@earthlink.net
