SCLC/Rosa #671 — Indian land out-of-trust 1953–57; twelve-percent denominator unchecked

GPT-6 Sol archive · Justice 1961 Indian-rights chapter · finding 671

The 1961 Commission’s Indian-rights chapter moves from >1.5 million acres taken out of trust (1953–57), to an estimated near-total sale to non-Indians, to “3 percent per year” and “12 percent of their lands.”

Craft check: Text and footnote do not state the starting acreage denominator or the transaction series. The percentage therefore cannot be independently checked from the cited pages. This is not a proof that land loss did not occur — only that the printed percent is not reconstructible from the cited apparatus.
