Also in the lot: Pink, 5.5 x 3.5 in., postcard issued by the Department of the Interior concerning the drawing of land on the Rosebud Reservation. A portion reads, The number assigned to you by the drawing for the ceded Sioux Indian Lands of the Rosebud Reservation...The lands opened will not make more than, approximately, 2,400 claims... The Rosebud Indian Reservation is an Sicangu Lakota and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe reservation located in South Dakota. The government established Rosebud in 1889 by the United States' partition of the Great Sioux Reservation. Congress approved to open the Rosebud Reservation in 1904 to homesteaders against the wishes of the Sioux. The asking price was $2.50 per acre for land that was worth an estimated $5 — $7 per acre. Many tribal members never saw the money, but lost the land. Angry about more broken promises, the Sioux brought the case in the Supreme Court in 1972. The court ruled the reservations were diminished because of the large number of acres occupied by non-Indian farmers and ranchers. Condition: Some light soiling and fading of the paper.
