Fuller, E. O., 1875-

Fuller (1875-1965) served as chief fiscal agent for the University of Wyoming from the 1920s to 1940s, and worked with the United States General Land Office. Through expertise gained in these two positions, Fuller was called as an expert witness in cases before the United States Indian Claims Commission. The Commission was established in 1946 and heard Indian claims against the U.S. government for payment of land ceded by the Indians.

Fuller testified on the values of land and land resources during the following Indian Claims Commission cases: Case #61 (1959) of the confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes of the Flathead Reservation in Montana involving an 1855 treaty; Case #239 (1954) of the Tillamook Indians of the Siletz Reservation in Oregon involving an 1874 treaty; and Case #63 (1953) of the Shoshone Tribe of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming involving an 1868 treaty.
