What is the name of the treaty that gives Native Americans money each month?

I'm doing a research essay on this subject and I want to know the name of this treaty so I can research it further. I think there were a lot of treaties back in the day, so if there were more than one that's okay, I just want to know some names. Thanks!

What is the name of the treaty that gives Native Americans money each month?
"Contrary to popular belief, Indians do not receive payments from the Federal Government simply because they have Indian blood. Funds distributed to a person of Indian descent may represent income from his/her own property collected for him/her by an agent of the United States government. Other disbursements to individuals may represent compensation for lands taken in connection with governmental projects, comparable to payments made to non-Indians for the acquisition of land for governmental purposes. Some Indian tribes receive income from the utilization of tribal timber and other reservation resources, a percentage of which may be distributed as per capita among the tribe's members. Individual tribal members also share in the money paid to the tribes by the Federal Government in fulfillment of treaty obligations. Money available for payments belongs either to the tribe or to an individual and is held in trust by the Federal Government. In this event, the Federal Government issues checks in making payment to individuals or to the tribes."

Here's an interesting site on payments made in cloth

an interesting court case regarding payments

"Contrary to popular belief, people do not receive a special payment from the Federal Government merely because they have Indian blood. Money received by a person of Indian blood may represent income from his own property collected for him by an agent of the United States. Alternately funds may have been paid as a disbursement from a compensation decision by the Indian Claims Commission or the Court of Claims on a tribal claim for fair payment for lands taken many years ago or in connection with more recent governmental projects comparable to payments made to non-Indians for taking land for governmental purposes.





Some Indian tribes receive income from the use of tribal timber and other reservation resources, a percentage of which may be distributed per capita among the tribal members. Individual tribal members also share in the money paid and material furnished to tribes by the United States Government, in fulfillment of treaty obligations. Money available for payments belongs either to the tribe or to the individual and is held in trust by the United States Government. Therefore, government checks are issued in making the payment even though the money does not belong to the United States.





To be eligible for payments from tribal funds, a person -- in addition to possessing Indian blood -- must be a recognized member of an Indian tribe whose money is being distributed. Generally, the responsibility for establishing this membership lies with the individual.





Eligibility may depend upon proof of blood relationship to a parent, but sometimes requires tracing relationship to a grandparent, or great grandparent whose name appeared on a membership or census roll of the tribe or on a payment roll used in making a previous per capita distribution of money to its members."

Reply:It is called casinos, known as the ka-ching-ga act.


I do not believe there is such an act. They are considered sovereign nations which I think is what you are actually referring to. They also get funding as they have their own government, fire, police and other services but I still don't think they individually get money from the government. If they got money, I would think they would be living better than what they are doing now.
Reply:The mistake in your question is the wrong assumption that all indians are one. Each separate tribe would have had a separate or allied peace treaty with the US Government so that there is not 1 treaty to look up, but hundreds.





One example of such a treaty would be the Treaty of Greenville, which was signed in 1795 after US forces under General Anthony Wayne defeated a coalition of Indian tribes which secured the rights of US settlers to homestead in the Ohio Country in exchange for goods in the amount of $20,000.





Other examples include:





Treaty of Fort Laramie


Treaty of Chicago


Treaty of Prairie du Chien


Treaty of Vincennes


Treaty of Tippecanoe

Reply:first of all the government doesn't give us money. there are treaties that exchange education and health care and mineral and other rights from resources on the lands for lands ceeded to the government. unfortunately most people forget that the usa has never ever kept the terms to even one treaty although they are very good at keeping the parts where they get the land. when it comes to giving native people the payment part...they have a million excuses and crooks who "loose" billions of dollars of indian money.





its time americans get their history and facts straight.





oh and for those who love to rant about native owned casinos, stop being hypocrits. close down atlantic city and las vegas and stop going to all casinos.
Reply:Damn, which tribe is that? MAybe they'll adopt me, because my tribe gets SQUAT. Perhaps you should write an essay about how the government rarely holds up their end of any of the treaties? Research the Boldt decision, it was one of the most influential in West Coast NAtive American history. A non-native supremem court judge actually sided with my tribe on a treaty rights issue! Montana though...hmm..contact a local tribe there. Here, I'll give you the phone number for one if you'll give me a minute...





the blackfeet were the first to pop into my mind (they have a really hott lawyer who visits my tribe from time to time...hehe) http://www.blackfeetnation.com/
Reply:There isn't one specific treaty. Each tribe has been treated differently and many don't get much. Since tribes also hold land in common on a reservation, individual members rarely benefit from either tribe or federal assistance.






Reply:we're giving them money ???
Reply:Where did you ever get an idea like that? When you find the name of that treaty, please email it to me. I have never gotten a check and the govt. must owe me a bunch of money!
