Text transcribed from caption: PC-37743. INDIANS SEEK RETURN OF LANDS. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Representatives of the Taos Pueblo tribe appear before a Senate subcommittee on Indian Affairs to ask the return of 48,000 acres known as the Blue Lake area in northern New Mexico. They are (left to right) Quirino Romero, governor of Taos Pueblo; Severino Martinez, 80-year-old spokesman for the Tribal Council; and Paul J. Bernal, council secretary. The lands were seized in 1906 and made a part of the National Forest Preserve. The House has already passed a bill which would return the lands to the Indians.
