DEPT. TO ESTABLISH PRIVATE TRUSTS
TO PROTECT KLAMATH PROPERTY;
AGREEMENT WITH BANKS DEVELOPED
Acting under the authority provided for in Section 15 of Public
Law 587 as amended, the Department of Interior is taking steps to
establish private trusts to protect the property interests of Klamath
minors and those adults determined non compos mentis or in need of
assistance in conducting their affairs.
Hatfield Chilson, Under Secretary of the Interior, is quoted in the
letter of Don Foster, Area Director, of October 14, 1957 to the Sup
erintendent as follows:
"The Commissioner's staff has considered problems encountered
at the Klamath Agency in securing adequate protection for the prop
erty of Klamath minors and adults under State guardianship laws ex
clusively. After numerous conferences in the Central Office and the
Portland Area, in search of adequate means for protecting the in
terests of such Klamaths it is the conscnus that, in general, their
property will receive better management and provide greater income
at less cost under private trust arangements."
According to Mr. Foster, "In implementing the policy as stated
by the Under Secretary of the Interior we recommend that the
Klamaths be advised not to petition for guardianship of property at
this time. Details with trust banks arc now being worked out and
within the near future we will be in a position, under authority dele
gated to the Area Office, to work with Klamaths concerned, and es
tablish for (1) minors, (2) non compos mentis, and (3) those deter
mined to be in need of assistance in conducting their affairs, private
trusts with trust banks'
Mr. Foster stated further that "Klamaths not in the three cata
gorics of persons listed should be advised of the desirability of
voluntary trust arangements."
The Department of Interior representatives have developed a
trust agreement after extensive discussions with a number of trust
bank officials. The agreement which was released recently by the
Department is printed below in full for the benefit of Klamath
Tribal Members. Following the agreement can be found the defin
itions of certain legal terms used.
On October 24, the Tribal Executive Committee met in Port
land with officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and several
Portland banks to discuss the provisions of the agreement.
