Apart from Christ's teaching, some books of the New Testament include controversial episodes that report on the death punishment practice in the early Church. It refers to the Acts of the Apostles.

was originally filed in 1996 over the United States government's trust management and accounting of hundreds of thousands of individual American Indian trust accounts. The Dawes Allotment Act is the legislation that I believe is in connection with this suit because the first trust was set up with the Dawes Act and nothing has been right for the Indians since.
