Byron Dorgan: “Alright, and that was in addition the ice jams?”

Tribes ceded close to 200 million acres of land during the treaty-making and removal periods prior to 1881.

It is a travesty! Further, it is a problem that will continue to have negative impacts for generations to come.

I just want to say that I am concerned about the court's decision in Carcieri and the impact it may have on those tribes that were recognized after 1934.

I know that everyone sitting at this table has a passionate desire to fix these problems.
