Indian Claims Commission - Loyal Creek Band or Group of Creek Indians

The case involves the Loyal Creek Band of Creek Indians seeking compensation for losses suffered during the Civil War. They submitted individual claims totaling over $5 million, but were only awarded $1.8 million. The Senate later determined their losses to be $1.2 million and recommended payment, but Congress only appropriated $600,000. The case is presented as a class action on behalf of all descendants and heirs of the Loyal Creeks.
