Excerpt from Indian-White Amalgamation: An Anthrometric Study
The Congress of the United States passed an act June 21, 1906, amended March 1, 1907, authorizing mixed-blood Indians on White Earth Reservation, Minnesota, to sell the lands which the Government had previously allotted to them. Many Indians enrolled on that reserva tion have, as mixed-bloods, sold all or part of their allotments since the passage of the act.
In time the Government suspected that in the sale of certain lands fraud had been committed intentionally by the original purchaser or seller, or both. Through its Department of Justice the Government in August, 1910, began to bring suits against the present owners of -more than 1300 pieces of such land, - whether or not the present owners were the original purchasers.
