Shoshone Tribe, 304 U.S. 111 (1938) When the government sets aside land for an Indian tribe’s reservation, the tribe has a right to occupy the land. But does the tribe also have a right to the natural resources on the land? In United States versus Shoshone Tribe, we’ll see whether the Shoshone Tribe or the federal government had rights to timber and minerals on the Shoshone’s reservation land. In an 1863 treaty, the United States government set aside over 44 million acres of land, in what is now Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, as a reservation for the Shoshone Tribe. In 1868, the Shoshone tribe signed a treaty that ceded its original reservation to the United States in exchange for an almost 3-million-acre reservation in Wyoming, known as the Wind River Reservation. The reservation contained valuable mineral deposits, including gold, oil, coal, and gypsum. There were also over 400,000 acres of timber on the reservation. The 1868 treaty held that the land would be set aside for the Shoshone’s absolute and undisturbed use and occupation. However, in 1878, the United States gave the Northern Arapahoe Tribe the right to live on half of the Wind River Reservation. The Northern Arapahoe Tribe had split from the main body of the Arapahoe Nation and didn’t have a reservation or any other land to live on at the time. In 1891, the commissioner of Indians Affairs held that the Northern Arapahoes and the Shoshones had equal rights to the reservation. In 1927, a congressional act gave the Shoshone Tribe the right to sue the government. The tribe sued the United States, claiming that a taking occurred when the government gave the Northern Arapahoe Tribe half of the Shoshone’s reservation. The United States Court of Claims agreed that there was a taking and that the Shoshone Tribe was entitled to just compensation. The Court of Claims found that the value of the reservation land, and the value of the mineral and timber rights, totaled over 1.5 million dollars. The United States appealed, but it didn’t object to the court’s finding that it owed compensation. Instead, the United States only argued that the mineral and timber rights shouldn’t have been included in the total value of the taking. The United States Supreme Court granted cert.
