that I decided to come over and

that this water was diverted in

Important Land
Case Decided
Judge Bourquin in Federal
Court Decides Case
of Tribal RIGHTS

Mrs. Maggie Doolittle and her
eight children, all of Great Falls,
forfeited all their tribal rights
as members of t h g Assinni-
BONES when they moved from
their reservation and took to
the ways of the white man, ac-
cording to a decision rendered
by Judge Bourquin in the fed-
eral court in Butte. The decree
in the case has been signed.
This case involved 2.720 acres
of valuable land on the Fort Az.
sinniboine reservation in this
state. The land was tribal PROP
erty. a part Of the community
holdings of t b Q Assinniboinc
tribe of Indians. Mrs. Dooiittle
| is a quarter-blooded Assinni.
boine a n d her children are
eiehth-bloods. They claimed to
be entitled to the land as mem.
bers Of the community Of AS.
sinniboines.
The court decided against
them on the ground that they
had abandoned their tribal re.
lation and forfeited their tribal
rights by leaving the reservation
and living elsewhere.
| The decision of the court Is
very important. for it shuts the
door against more than 200 othsE
persons. Indians oz mixed

children live at Great Falls,

their favor at the trial. accord

interested in the case.
Strangely enough, they were
unfortunate when they pre-.
