Byron Dorgan: “We have to shine all the spotlights on one spot and figure out not only what is happening, but how on earth do we fix…”

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

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.

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