CONFEDERATED BANDS OF THE UTE TRIBE OF INDIANS, COLORADO Order of Restoration

November 13, 1937.

Whereas, pursuant to the provisions of an agreement accepted and ratified by the Act of June 15, 1880 (21 Stat. L., 199), the Confederated Bands of the Ute Tribe of Indians in Colorado ceded to the United States a large area of their reservation in the State of Colorado, which area was then held and deemed to be public land of the United States, subject to disposal under the laws providing for the disposal of public lands, except as provided in the said Act of June 15, 1880, supra, and

Whereas, there are now remaining undisposed of within the said ceded area certain tracts which, if now restored, would prove beneficial to the Confederated Bands of the Ute Tribe of Indians, because of their value for grazing purposes and mineral content, and

Whereas, by relinquishment and cancellation of unperfected homestead entries

within this area a limited additional acreage of land of similar character may be included within the class of undisposed of ceded land, and

Whereas, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs has recommended restoration to tribal ownership of all said vacant undisposed of ceded lands within the following described boundaries:

Beginning at the southeast corner of section 36, township 47 north, range 112 west of the New Mexico principal meridian in Colorado; thence west on the section lines to the southeast corner of section 35, township 47 north, range 2 west; thence north to the northeast corner of the said section 35; thence west to the center section line of section 33; thence south to the south line of said section 33; thence east to the northwest corner of section 3, township 46 north, range 2 west; thence south to the southwest corner of section 3; thence east to the northwest corner of section 11; thence south to the southwest corner of section 14; thence east to the southeast corner of section 13, township 46 north, range 1/2 west; thence north along the township line to the place of beginning.

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by sections 3 and 7 of the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. L., 984), I hereby find that restoration to tribal ownership of all lands which are now, or may hereafter be, classified as undisposed of ceded Ute Indian lands lying within the above described boundaries in Colorado which shall include mineral and other rights not acquired by entrymen within any entries perfected where the surface right only was acquired by such entrymen, will be in the public interest, and said lands are hereby restored to tribal ownership for the use and benefit of the Confederated Bands of the Ute Tribe of Indians, Colorado, subject to any valid existing rights.

Whereas, under authority contained in the acts of Congress approved April 23, 1904 (33 Stat. 254), March 2, 1907 (34 Stat. 1230), and May 30, 1910 (36 Stat. 448), providing for the disposal by the United States of large areas of land within the boundaries of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, State of South Dakota, said areas were opened to settlement and entry under the general provisions of the homestead and townsite laws of the United States and of the said acts of Congress by Presidential proclamations of May 13, 1904

(33 Stat. 2354), August 24, 1908 (35 Stat. 2203), and June 29, 1911 (37 Stat. 1691), respectively, and

Whereas, pursuant to authority contained in the act of March 2, 1907, supra, certain tracts of land within the opened portion of the reservation were set aside and reserved for the townsites of Wamblee, Witten, and Wewela, and

Whereas, there are now remaining undisposed of on the said opened portion of the Rosebud Reservation a number of tracts of surplus land, together with a large number of vacant lots within the above mentioned townsites which, while of little value for the original purpose of settlement and entry, upon thorough investigation have been found to be valuable to the Indians of the said reservation, and

Whereas, by relinquishment and cancellation of homestead entries a small additional area of land may be included within the class of undisposed-of surplus land, and

Whereas, the Tribal Council, the Superintendent of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended restoration to tribal ownership of all such undisposed-of lands in the said reservation.

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by Sections 3 and 7 of the act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), I hereby find that restoration to tribal ownership of all lands which are now or may hereafter be, classified as undisposed-of, surplus, opened lands of the Rosebud Indian Reservation, together with all unsold lots in the townsites of Wamblee, Witten, and Wewela, will be in the public interest, and the said lands are hereby restored to tribal ownership for the use and benefit of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe of Indians of the Rosebud Indian Reservation in the State of South Dakota, and are added to and made a part of the existing reservation, subject to any valid existing rights.

CHIPPEWA INDIAN RESERVATIONS, MINNESOTA

Order of Restoration

Whereas under authority contained in the Act of Congress approved January 14, 1889 (25 Stat.

Whereas there is now remaining undisposed of within the said ceded areas, approximately 29,000 acres of land, which is

of little or no value for its original purpose of entry and settlement, but which will be of value to the Indians if restored to tribal ownership, and where practicable, consolidated by exchanges with other land owners, and

Whereas the Tribal Executive Committee of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, the General Council of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, the Superintendents in charge of the Consolidated Chippewa and Red Lake Agencies and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended the restoration to tribal ownership of all undisposed-of lands included within the reservation cessions made under the said Act of January 14, 1889, supra, of lands within the reservations named above;

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by section 3 of the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ROADLESS AND WILD AREAS ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS

October 25, 1937.

Mechanization is growing in America with unprecedented acceleration. Activity after activity which for countless generations have been performed directly by manpower and area after area which have been subject only to the forces of nature are now dominated by machinery. To millions of Americans this constitutes an unmitigated blessing.

There are other millions who, while they appreciate the good which the machine can bring, also have an intense craving for another type of existence. They do not see why their life must be lived entirely in the world of machinery when there is ample space in this great country for another world as well. They cannot believe that with vast stretches which need not be used for the mechanical activities of our civilization, it is necessary to make every nook and corner of the country a part of the machine world and to wipe out all sizable traces of the primitive.

It is perfectly feasible to reserve for such people something of those wilderness values which they crave. A little advance planning and a little balancing of the claims of genuine conflicting values will make it possible to save many areas from mechanization. In the past a great many ideal wilderness areas have been opened by roads which were of no necessity and which have never returned in value of service anywhere near the investment
