Indian tribes, and private parties. The Pueblo’s law-
suit asserting this claim, Pueblo of Santo Domingo
v. Rael (Civil No. 83–1888 (D.N.M.)), is still pend-
ing.
(4) The Pueblo of Santo Domingo’s claims
against the United States in docket No. 355 under
the Act of August 13, 1946 (60 Stat. 1049; com-

Domingo have negotiated a settlement to resolve all
existing land claims, including the claims described
