The interior Dept Does have a Web page , Where you type in your Name and it will tell you if your are entitled to any money..
If I remember correctly the Millions are owed to ancestor of the Tribes in the western part of the USA.. West of the Mississippi.

Who is they??? If you mean the Native Americans the key word is native. "They" were here first and who needs a Visa? Caucasians came and stayed without one, "they" watched them land. Mexicans come without one and we watch them come. Boy, I''ve used so many thems, theys I''ve confused myself. No wonder you are lost in limbo!

The Great Emperor Bush II is puzzled why the American Indians are suing the government for allowing big business to exploit the natural resources on Indian land and not compensate those Indians exploited.

The Great Emperor feels that the American Indians are receiving the same "benefits" that other non-Indians are "enjoying", that being poverty, high unemployment, poor living conditions and little education. The Emperor also believes that he is "protecting" the American Indians as he is all citizens of the US(SA) from those nasty "terrrrrrorists" who are hiding beneath every rock and behind every cactus and ready to either convert us all to Islam or kill us all!

It must also be remembered that the Great Emperor fancies himself as a "rhinestone cowboy" to whom American Indians were his natural enemy, and one does not pay your enemies even if you steal from them!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!

The interior Dept Sold LEASES on indian land for mining and oil rights.. The royalties were to be put in a trust for the Tribes. They did not do that.. The royalties Were NOT even collected from the Well drillers or the miners . The interor dept, just kept renewing those Leases . and Not putting the money in the TRUST FUNDS ..

[bkotarsk]

Do you remember just a Few years ago, The WHOLE Interior Department''s website was CLOSED to the public, Because The Indians were finding out TOO much information.

I saw my fist reservation 40 years ago Indian island in Me. it was horrible we took the state gave them a cramped island with no resorces we did throw booze at them nearly destroyed a race of humans we even traded spall pox infected blankets with them in the midwest the first use of our goverment of biological weapons. I am a decendent of a indian and european man they wouldn''t even put her name on the certificate because she was unworthy that''s the reason we know that''s how it was done in those days. We owe we should pay we wiped out a culture like Hitler tried. Guns against bows and later even dragged in the gatling gun to shoot more it is the darkest part of our history and should be addressed don''t worry I won''t get anything it was to long ago but I AM NOT ASHAMED...

Whatever the Europeans did to the Indians it was not genocide. There are more Native Americans now than there were when the Europeans came over. And they have a higher standard of living. They were living a stone age existence without horses, cattle, iron, or wheels. That being said, anthropologists studying primitive tribes have said tribal life is happier and more satisfying than modern life. They knew many things and had many skills we don''t possess. Throughout history whenever a group with more technology has run into a more primitive one the more technical ones have prevailed. Not just in North America. American Indians have the same rights as any other American. They do as well as anybody else when they assimilate into the general population. I am part Indian and have some full bloods in my family.

What America did to the Native Americans was genocide!

Genocide! Are you nuts? All they did was try to kill every last Native american and take their land. Get your facts straight. And , uh, they may not be done from the looks of this suit.

Put the 100 Billion in Social Security and let the Indians apply for Social Security!

[rowdytexan2]

The dreadful thing is that the government will charge the trust accounts for this reconciliation. And by the time that''s over and all the accounting vulchures get their share.

Every single account needs to be repaired and paid back.

[bozworth4]

We told the indians we would manage their money? Isn''t that like the fox guarding the chicken house? I mean after all our politicians do such a goooooood job of it?? By the way, there are no longer in my vocabulary democrat or republican, only politicians. And about all politicians would pimp their mother for a vote.

speakinup...I would have expected better..even from you. My only question to you is have you never read any history at all? The Indians were here for over ten thousand years before the arrival of the white man so I would say that this was their land. They had a highly evolved society and lived in harmony with the land. Everything was taken from them and always with the promise that they would be compensated. Now it''s time to pay up. Why do you have a problem with paying your bill?

[element51]

This had to come sooner or later. The treatment of Native Americans has been so disgraceful that it is difficult to find words to express. The history of the treatment of the Indians, like that of Black Americans, has never been fully revealed. From the time that the Europeans came to North America they have done eveything they could to take from the Indians what was rightfully owned by the Indians. They have been lied to, cheated, and in some cases outright murdered so the white man could take what he wanted. There are those of you who will say that this happened long ago and is no longer valid but as recent as two years ago there were crimes against the Indians. The theft of all tribal funds from the Tigua tribe in Texas is a good example. Jack Abramhoff and his fellow criminals stole somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 million dollars of which part found it''s way to the republican national committee. Very little was done. It''s time to give these people what is due to them.

Must be nice to be a ''Native American'' (so did they spontaniously generate in North America ?)

Imagine, just because they are born into the right family, they get money. Maybe they should be paying a visa to come into the US.

[dan9111]

It has everything to do with corrupt stupid slimy public officials that have no idea what they are doing or worse they do know what they are doing. Where the heck did $100 billion go? Sombody has it.

By fascist and privileged FCC-licensing, the money is funding McCain''s campaign (and previously Giuliani''s). The guns aimed at us by our leaders tell no lies.
