Mr.. Case died of injuries re-
ceived May 81 when he was
struck by a car as he was

Md.
He himself was born on a
Sioux reservation, in the coun-
Gil room Of the Minneconjou,
while his father was a frontier
sheriff working with the Sioux.
The Red Mems grievance
dates back to 1874, when an
expedition led by Custer found
a rich gold strike in the Black
Hills of South Dakota. The
discovery set of one of the Ma
tion's widest gold rusheS. but
the situation was complicated
by the fact that the 7.3 million
acres of land belonged to the
Sioux.
Sioux on Warpath
The Sioux displeasure at be-
ing offered Sc million when
they had asked $40 million sent
Sitting Bulls braves on the
warpath in the valley of the
Little Big Horn, annihilating
Custer and his men. In 1877.
the Government took the land.
and. in exchange said it would
assist the Indians to become
civilized. Over the years, the
Sioux collected $57 million
worth in education, medicines
and other aid.

and Mr.. Case took over.
Last November. the United
States Court of Claims affirmed
a 1854 opinion of the Indian
Claims Commission. which ruled
that the $57 million received by
the Sioux so far, the $500, 900
a year they were still getting,
and the Governments obliga-
ton to care for them in per.
petuity was fully adequate.
Mr.. Case announced his in
tention to file a petition for Q
rehearing.

thorities on law related to In
dams, Mr.. Case represented the
