Byron Dorgan: “To see these contracts shut down in the middle of the contract on very important research, I think is not a smart thing…”

The agency promised changes, but the situation has only disintegrated since.

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.

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.
