Abstract

Piutes have left the Duck Valley reservation, and want to live in the Bruneau Valley, since, according to Bruneau John, "...his ancestors were born and had lived and died on the Bruneau, he wished to return there to live and die." Due to the good service of the tribe, the recommendation is to let them. "...They will not only have the right to do so under the Indian Homestead law, but their effort is entirely in accord with the policy which this office and the Department have been seeking to inaugurate and encourage...."
