Under the settlement, the government agreed to pay 1.4 billion dollars of taxpayers money to the 300,000 Native Americans tribal members. Another 2 billion dollars was set aside for the government to buy some of the land from its owners......fixed it.

Might need another fix. The BIA collected billions for mineral rights and couldn’t be bothered to keep the records as to whom the money was owed, with a Clinton appoitee basically telling the court that the rats ate the records, so that was the end of that. This settlement is about a half billion short of what the feds owe with basic interest. Oh, and the money to by back land is parcels that the feds just can’t figure out anymore from their odd land splitting formulas.
