Makah Tribe v. United States

In this Indian Claims Commission case transferred here, the Commission before its dissolution made an interlocutory order that defendant had breached a promise to furnish the Indians $30,000 worth of fishing gear and that consequential damages were awardable. The Commission denied defendant’s motion to reconsider. Defendant asks leave to file a second such motion. We consider the reasons assigned for reopening the issue are inadequate and the motion is therefore denied.
