Description
This two-page typed letter to Thomas Banyacya from attorney Robert T. Coulter is dated July 14, 1977. It discusses the effects of accepting payment from the United States for the claim made in the Indian Claims Commission for a parcel of Hopi land. The claim that was made was for money equal to the value of the Hopi land, and is not compensation for past wrongs. Coulter explains that if the monetary award is accepted, the Hopi would lose their claim to land.
