Keep the Keepseagle Funds with American Indians

Money should go to farmers not to non profits money will be used for other things by the USDA instead of being given to farmers and ranchers who ate native American they will discriminate again like they did before

I am a successful claimant. Why are they holding on to our money. I am still fighting discrimination trying to ranch. Please release our funds.

I agree with everyone that has commented, it should stay being beneficial to the native farmers.

I think the remaining funds should be divided amongst the previous prevailing claims.

I agree with this Petition. The Case has already been settled. The funds were to go to the real Native Farmers/Ranchers.

The case has been decided. The settlement has been designated. Continue with the intent of the settlement and let it benefit the American Indian people.

We are the claimants and deserve to be the beneficiaries.

We done got cheated once now the government is doing it again.

I will sign in honor of my deceased father who was a farmer/rancher for 50 years. Thank you

I support the petition

I support the petition

These funds should only go to intended beneficiaries either directly or through a lending/grant structure such as this. Any other option would allow USDA to continue the discriminatory practice of denying us access to much needed capital funds.

This is a good alternative for Indian farmers and ranchers to solve their credit problems for the future.

I believe that these dollars stay in Indian Country as there are Tribal members that still aren't able to receive loans from the USDA

We are rEAL .

I believe the funds should go back to the Claimants like myself when i went to the USDA office the person told me they were not lending any money on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation so i never filled out the paper work, and i had to invest my 401k which i lost as a result of not having enough funding to keep my operation going!

i feel there should be a round for the beneficiaries that were denied because of simple mistake on apps

please tell other class claimants and native farmers and ranchers this is the best alternative to full disbursement! Thank you!!!

I support paying out the class claimants but as an alternativ if the class claimants are not going to be paid the lending fund is a far better option than the money being returned to the treasury. In my eyes that is still a win if this works but if th money goes back to the treasury it is a loss.

A typing error occurred. I am NOT IN FAVOR of returning the Cy Pres Funds to the U.S. Treasury. I remember my father waiting for hours to meet with USDA representatives in a border town where the white people did not want us in their community. The USDA reps told my father "if you want assistance go to the BIA." He was trying scratch out a living to take of his family. Dad was a Korean War veteran and fought for this country and he was repaid with unresponseive and derogatory comments from U.S. government officials. The claimants deserve payment of the remaining Cy Pres Funds. I am sure many of the other claimant and their families have similar stories of being dehumanized and discriminated against.
