G-LD-7 stands open, re-scoped; a DELTA candidate rides against the framing paragraph
The decision the framing pass excerpted is a political-structure proceeding, not a cession opinion — and the item fetched does not contain its majority. The framing pass read 27 Ind. Cl. Comm. 187 in excerpt and printed that its constructions of the neighbouring instruments match the texts and mapping. In the Oklahoma State collection of the Commission's decisions, the item for this citation carries the Order (pp. 325–327) and Chairman Kuykendall's dissent (pp. 328 onward) — not the majority opinion and findings at pp. 187–324, which are not in that download. What the order itself establishes is the proceeding's subject: on remand from Hannahville Indian Community v. United States, 180 Ct. Cl. 477 (1967), the Commission was to make a de novo determination of "the political structure of the Potawatomi Indians" at the treaty times — whether the Potawatomi of 1795–1833 were one land-owning entity or, as the dissent argues, five autonomous land-holding bands (its note names the Huron, St. Joseph, Wabash, United Nation, and Prairie & Kankakee bands). The majority's holding is recovered at second-hand strength only, from a later Commission summary: that the party the United States dealt with was "the Potawatomi Tribe or Nation as it existed between 1795 and 1833," a "single land-owning entity." Nothing read — order, dissent, or summaries — contains a finding on Royce Area 146 as an area, construes the 1828 second cession's boundary calls, sets out a reserve schedule for the 1828 treaty, or discusses the Kankakee headwater; the excerpt's optical text is heavily degraded, so even that negative is stated as "no passage found in the portion read," not as proof of absence from the volume. The honest statement of the check is therefore weaker than the framing pass printed: no divergence between the Commission and the treaty text at the townsite point was found in the order, the dissent, and the summaries — and the 1832-area constructions should not be re-cited as findings of this decision unless the majority text is read and a passage pinpointed. A conform of the land section's ICC paragraph to exactly this strength rides to assembly as a DELTA candidate; the gap stands open, re-scoped, its settler the majority text at pp. 187–324 in the collection's preceding volume-27 item or a live session, pinpoint-searched for the 1828 treaty, "146," Flatbelly, and "Kankakee."
