Description
Looks at the long legal process that resulted in the Catawba Land Claim Settlement Act and the extinguishment of a claim for 144,00 acres of highly developed South Carolina land. The settlement also saw the Catawba receive federal and state benefits, restoration as a federal tribe and a $50 million payment.
