Indian plaintiff says Salazar comments insulting
The Associated Press
A district court ruled last year that the Indian plaintiffs are entitled to $455 million a fraction of the $47 billion they had sought. Both parties have appealed that decision but a date for arguments has not yet been set. Salazar who represented American Indian tribes as a senator from Colorado said the appellate court’s final ruling could be the basis for a settlement between the two sides. “It may create the framework for us to move forward with some kind of final resolution of the litigation” he said. He added that resources for Indian schools and law enforcement have suffered because the case has dragged on for so long. “What I do want to do is I want to get the matter resolved and I say this because I think it’s been a blemish on the United States and the Department of Interior for such a long time” he said. Cobell said a desire to end the case is not enough as many of the Indian plaintiffs have died or are nearing the end of their lives.
