On May 28 1909&nbsp;Commissioner Guion Miller representing the Interior Department&nbsp;submitted to&nbsp;Congress his findings with respect to 45857 separate applications&nbsp;for&nbsp;compensation (totaling about 90000 individual Native American claimants).&nbsp;Miller qualified about 30000 persons inhabiting approximately thirty-nine&nbsp;states and three countries to share in the fund. Ninety percent of the eligible&nbsp;were living west of the Mississippi River.</strong></h4><h4><br></h4><h4><strong style=color: rgb(51 51 51);>The work at&nbsp;hand&nbsp;</strong><em style=color: rgb(51 51 51);>Cherokee Descendants East: An Index to the Guion Miller Applications.
