The 1941 Susquehannock Indian Reservation Bill

This bill was introduced in 1941 in the Pennsylvania state legislature. After the failed attempt to receive recognition at the national level in 1872, this bill would attempt to establish state level recognition for the remaining Conestoga Susquehannock people by setting aside funds to establish the Susquehannock Indian Reservation in Dauphin county Pennsylvania. While it passed unopposed, with universal bipartisan support, it was still vetoed by governor Arthur James, who insisted that the last Susquehannock was killed in 1763, despite evidence to the contrary.
