Item Terminating federal supervision over Indian forests.(UNKNOWN, 1957) Pomeroy, Kenneth B.Written by Kenneth B. Pomeroy, with The American Forestry Association. One section marked, in particular: "In 1950 the Menominee Indian Tribe secured an $8,500,000 judgment against the Federal Government as damages for earlier mismanagement of the timber resource. This decision was only one of the many which define the legal and moral obligations of the Federal Government as a trustee of Indian property. The courts have ruled that a guardian may not permit any action detrimental to the interests of its wards even though the wards desire such action. This is another important point to keep in mind while considering various termination proposals."
