Interview with Dan Byrd
Dan Byrd
OH 189
Mr. Byrd gives the Tri-County Landowner’s Association perspective of the Catawba Indian Land Law suite. He discusses the Non-Intercourse Act of 1790, the Treaty of 1840, and the Catawba Termination Act of 1959. According to Dan, the main issue is if the Catawba have the right to bring a lawsuit to the federal government due to them violating the Non-Intercourse Act. The Catawba’s argument is that South Carolina made the land agreement with the Catawba in 1840 without consent of Congress, thus violating the act and making the land agreement void. Dan and the Landowner’s Association believe that the Catawba Termination Act of 1959 rendered the Catawba unable to sue as an Indian nation. Dan believes this case would set a precedent for other terminated Indian tribes to try and reclaim land.
