"Tee-Hit-Ton Indians v. United States" (1955) established that the extinguishment of aboriginal title was not a "taking" within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment.On the strength of this precedent, claimants in the Court of Federal Claims have been denied interest—which otherwise would be payable under Fifth Amendment jurisprudence—totalling billions of dollars ($9 billion alone, as estimated by a footnote in "Tee-Hit-Ton", in interest for claims then pending based on existing jurisdictional statutes).
