Starting in 1935, Chapter 48 (Public Acts) gave the State Park and Forest Commission power to oversee Connecticut's Indians tribes. Then in 1941, Public Act 41-132 transferred this role to the Commissioner of Welfare. Finally Public Act 73-660 was passed which created today's Indian Affairs Council, as part of the Department of Environmental Protection.
