and restricted lands. The scope
and types of claims covered by
the Statute of Limitations are
described in the enclosed
statement. The time limit for
filing the claims is very short
and your assistance will be very
helpful in the success of this
effort.
When you hear about or
receive information indicating
a possible claim, please obtain
the name and address of the
individual and refer the matter
in writing to the Agency
Superintendent, or Chairman,

Scope of claims subject to the
statute
Congress enacted a statute of
limitations establishing a time
limit after which the United
States is forever barred from
commencing a lawsuit to
recover money damages on
behalf of Indian Tribes, bands
or groups of American Indian
or individual Indians whose
lands are held in trust or
restricted status. Where the

There was this guy who always came home drunk and he would
become sick. One night his wife told him, “One of these days
your going to throw up your guts. ” One night his wife clea ned a
chicken and forgot the guts in the sink. The guy comes home
and this time he spent quite some time in the kitchen, he finally
got to bed and tells his wife, “You know you were right, but
thanks to God and your long handled spoon 1 managed to get
my guts back inside. YIKES
acts transactions or occurrence
upon which the claim for
money damages is based, took
place on or before July 18,
1966, any claims have to be
submitted before September
17, 1983.
The statute applies to all
cases where the United States
has authority to sue to recover
money damages on behalf of
an Indian Tribe of Individual
Indian by virtue of its trust
responsibility to protect Indian
property rights. It applies to
causes of action arising out of a
leg ally w ro n g fu l a c t or

contractual obligation.

to unauthorized occupancy of
incorrect use of tribal or
individually held lands or for
the use of removal of its
Natural Resources (Trespass)
1. Damages resulting from
wrongful occupancy or use
of tribal or allotted lands.
For example, occupancy
of Indian lands by a
person, building, fencing,
or other improvements
without authority. Such
cases may arise as a result
of boundary disputes, or
occupancy or use of Indian
lands that were sold or
leased by the Indian
owner, but without the
United States’ approval of
the sale or lease.
2. Damages to tribal or
allotted, lands or natural
resources resulting from
fire.

of tribal or individual personal
property if such personal
pro p erty is protected by
Federal Government. (Conver
sion)
Damages resulting from
wrongfully depriving an
Indian ow ner of the
possession or use of
personal property which is
protected by Federal Law.
For example, the wrongful
removal of felled timber
(logs) from Indian lands.
C. Claims for damages due
to the non-performance of a
contractual obligation relating
to federally protected tribal or
individual property. (Contract)
1. Damages resulting from
breach or contract, for
example, use of Indian
p ro p e rty c o n tra ry to
contract provision, such as
surface damage resulting
from mining operation, or
use of a right-of-way in a
manner that has not been
agreed to in the contract.
2. Damages resulting from
breach of a lease, for
example, non-payment of
rent of a tenant or use of
the land contrary to lease
provision.
3. Damages resulting from
breach or a permit to use
fe d e ra lly p ro te c te d
property.
For foregoing categories and
types of claims do not indicate
all claims that are subject to the
stature. Each and every claim
will have to be evaluated on an
individual basis to determine if
it is a valid claim. Finally this
statute does not apply to any
claim which Indians may have
against the United States or an
officer thereof.
