The talerit Public Notice The Portland Area Office of the Bureau of Indian affairs announced that the United States will not initiate litigation to recover money damages for several types of claims for which litigation will shortly be barred by the Federal Statute of Limitations (28 U.S.C. 2415). During the past several years numerous potential claims involving the acquistion of “forced” fee patented title from Indian allottees and unapproved rights of way over Indian land were uncovered and investigated. The Statute of Limitations barring these claims has been extended several times. It now prohibits the United States from initiating litigation to recover pre-1966 damages on behalf of Indian claimants after December 31, 1982. . Two categories of claims involve the acquisition of valid title (6 Indian land. First . is 'the so-callled“forced” fee patent clairns; whereby a fee patent was issued to an Indian ffor this allotment? without ¿t$$S, UKft¥tdU8L i making an appfidatioh or consenting to its issuance. The Department of Justice has indicated that in ’’forced” fee cases the recovery of damages is merely ancillary to the claim to establish Indian title to the land. Under such circumstances it has been determinted that it would be inequitable to initiate litigation to recover both title and damages and, if damages were awarded, the award would be minimal. Due to a likelihood that substantial damagaes could not be recovered in these cases, litigation to recover damages will not be requested. However, all claims to establish Indian title will be reviewed and evaluated to determine whether the United States should request litigation seeking to confirm the Indian title to the land. Such litigation is not barred by the Statue of Limitations. The other type of claim occurred when the trust title to an allotment was conveyed in fee without the consent of all Indian heirs of the allottee. These are known as “Secretarial Transfer” or “Sale Without Full Consent” claims. On August 20,1979, it was determined that the United States would not initiate litigation to recover past damages for this type of claim. The Bureau has identified many roads on several Indian Reservations which were established without a right of way first being acquired in accordance with the Federal laws governing Indian lands. These roads often provided the only means of access to Indian properties and the majority of the rights of way were found to increase the value of the land that they crossed. The Justice Department has indicated that it would pot pursue those claims where there was no evidence f>f significant damages. ' f ' A review Of these claims indicated^ that in most cases' the benefits conferred by the road substantially offsetany damage caused by the road. This resulted in nearly all of the road right of way cases being dismissed form the Statue of Limitations program. The Bureau of Indian Affairs officials have been directed to cure the problem by seeking to validate the rights of way under Bureau regulations. Those regulations require Indian consent to the issuance of rights of way in most circumstances. A listing of the Forced Fee, Secretarial Transfer, Right-of-Way and miscellaneous Statue of Limitations damage claims for the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Burns Public Domain Allotments which have been dismissed follows.
