Strong
Opinion of the Court
The consolidated proceedings before the Tndm-n Claims Commission involved determination of recognized title by the various plaintiffs to the areas identified as 87 and 88 on Royce’s map of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Representatives of several tribes and bands of Indians relinquished their interests in these areas at the Treaty of September 29, 1817,7 Stat. 160. On May 30,1975 the court issued the following order:
“This case comes before the court on appeal by various Indian Tribes from decisions and orders of the Indian Claims
“Accordingly, the decisions and orders of the Commission are approved and affirmed, and the case is remanded to the Commission for further proceedings in accordance with this order.”
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
“The views expressed in my dissent in James Strong, et al. v. United States, Appeal No. 3-74, ante at 958-59, are adopted here by reference. I think in all sincerity what the Commission has attempted here is to do ‘rough justice’ but it is too rough to be just. I would remand.”
The joint motion for rehearing en bane filed by the Ottawa, Seneca-Cayuga, Potawatomi (Prairie Band) and the Pota-watomi (Citizens Band) was denied October 10, 1975. Petition for certiorari denied March 29,1976.
