§ 652. Claims against United States for appropriated lands; submission to United States

Court of Federal Claims; appeal; grounds for

relief

All claims of whatsoever nature the Indians of

California as defined in section 651 of this title

may have against the United States by reason of

lands taken from them in the State of California

by the United States without compensation, or

for the failure or refusal of the United States to

compensate them for their interest in lands in

said State which the United States appropriated

to its own purposes without the consent of said

Indians, may be submitted to the United States

Court of Federal Claims by the attorney general

of the State of California acting for and on behalf of said Indians for determination of the

equitable amount due said Indians from the

United States; and jurisdiction is conferred upon

the United States Court of Federal Claims,1 to

hear and determine all such equitable claims of

said Indians against the United States and to

render final decree thereon.

It is declared that the loss to the said Indians

on account of their failure to secure the lands

and compensation provided for in the eighteen

unratified treaties is sufficient ground for equitable relief.
