PageID #: 24914 INTERESTS OF AMICI Amici include American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes, inter-tribal organizations representing Tribes and tribal interests, and tribal organizations designated by tribal governments to carry out health care and other governmental functions. In total, 448 individual, federally recognized Tribes are represented herein, either under their own names or through their membership in amici tribal organizations. All tribal amici are identified in Appendix A to this brief. Each amicus has submitted a short statement of interest, all of which are attached as Appendix B to this brief. The opioid crisis has shattered communities throughout the United States, as evidenced by the size and scope of this multidistrict litigation. Tribes have a strong, independent interest in this litigation and appreciate the opportunity to submit this amicus brief. Tribes are unique sovereign governments that retained their preexisting sovereignty through the founding of the Republic. They are not subsumed within, nor are they political subdivisions of, any State or of the United States federal government, with which Tribes have historically complex relationships. As independent sovereigns and plaintiffs in this litigation, Tribes share in the common goal of abating a nationwide nuisance and public health crisis that has disproportionately affected their populations and strained their governmental resources to the breaking point. The unique standing that Tribes bring to this litigation will contribute to a better resolution for American Indian and Alaska Native people across the Country, and for all plaintiffs and community partners, if their sovereignty and self-determination are respected and reflected in the process. –1– Case: 1:17-md-02804-DAP Doc #: 1026 Filed: 10/05/18 6 of 236. PageID #: 24915 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The Tribes’ claims in this litigation are tragic and stunning. By every measure, Tribes and their populations have been more gravely impacted on a proportionate basis than any other segment of America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Indians and Alaska Natives had the highest drug overdose death rates in 2015 and the largest percentage increase in the number of deaths over time from 1999-2015 among all racial and ethnic groups.1 In some areas, the American Indian and Alaska Native mortality rate due to opioids runs six times that of non-Hispanic whites.2 This impact comes on top of two centuries of abuse that, until recent decades, largely sought to annihilate the very existence of the Tribes, not just figuratively but literally—to kill them off by war, privation, and starvation. The ongoing legacy of this not-so-distant past makes resolution of the opioid crisis in Indian Country all the more complicated. Further adding to the costly challenge is the extreme remoteness of many Tribes, who reside in some of the least populous and most inaccessible corners of rural America. Any fair resolution of tribal claims in this litigation must account for these conditions, which are far from mere marginal considerations. Equally imperative is that Tribes have their own “seat at the table” in the resolution of this massive litigation. Tribal interests are not represented by the States, which the Supreme Court once described as the Tribes’ “deadliest enemies.”3 Even today, States are often staunchly opposed to tribal interests and hostile to Tribes’ independent sovereignty, particularly in the contexts of litigation and resource distribution.

The property at issue consists of three tracts of land, consisting of 74.81 acres, more or less, located in Brown County, Kansas. The property is generally referred to as the “Highway 75 (Simon) tract.” For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the Regional Director’s decision. Background On January 5, 1979, the United States Court of Claims awarded judgment to the Tribe in Indian Claims Commission Docket No. 315, see The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas, The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma v. United States, 219 Ct. Cl. 719, 618 F.2d 119 (1979), and Congress subsequently appropriated funds to pay the judgment.

    To: Chairman Lance Kinzer And Members of the House Judiciary Committee From: Steve Cadue Tribal Chairman Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas 1107 Goldfinch Road Horton, Kansas 66439 Re: HB 2553 – Nemaha-Brown Watershed Funding Bill Date: February 29, 2012 Good afternoon Chairman Kinzer and Members of the House Judiciary Committee. I am Steve Cadue, Tribal Chairman of the sovereign Kickapoo Nation and I appear before you today to oppose HB 2553. I am opposed to the continuing damaging effort of the Nemaha Brown Watershed District to prevent the Kickapoo Tribe of securing a safe and dependable water supply. Water is life and yes, for the Kickapoo people it is a matter of Life or Perish. We depend on water for a total life-sustaining need including drinking water, health conditions and spiritual blessings. Our Kickapoo people utilized and are dependent on water before the coming of the white man. The United States Supreme Court, Winters v. United States (1908) cited Indian tribal rights original use of water and declared Indian tribe’s use of water before the coming of the white man. Our Kickapoo treaty is the Supreme Law of the Land and is under the protection of the federal trust responsibility of the United States to Indian tribes. Water is a sacred element in our Kickapoo traditions. Water is life. Our Kickapoo tribal reservation homeland is a federally recognized reservation and exists due to treaty agreements with the United States of America. We settled in the land that was called the Kansas territory in the treaty of l832 on the western banks of the Missouri river at Leavenworth.

  • The Modoc Nation (Formerly Known As the “Modoc Tribe”), A
    The Modoc Nation (formerly known as the “Modoc Tribe”), a federally recognized native nation by virtue of the Lakes Treaty of 1864 and the Klamath Tribe Restoration Act of 1986 We can no longer tolerate outright refusal of protecting our best interest. If the current conditions were to continue the outright extermination of our people would be complete. Our Ancestral land and water rights will be non- existent and we will be unable to hunt fish and gather as we have always done since time immemorial. We have always been the Modoc Tribe of Northern California and Southern Oregon. We have always been a separate tribe, we were never a band of the Klamath’s and we have never relinquished our Federal Recognition. Our Tribe existed long before there was a California or Oregon. Our tribe is a Federally Recognized Tribe, instead of taking things out of context and stating we are not separate from the Klamath Tribe. (Although the short terminology refers to the Klamath Tribe or Tribes, the long definition has always stated 3 separate tribes in all treaties). There is the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma, who was forced there not by choice and chose to stay rather than be forced to live with the Klamath tribe. There are Modocs enrolled in the Klamath Tribe(s) as “Klamath”, since the Klamath tribe refuses to acknowledge the Modoc tribe (except when there is financial gain by using our name). We represent all Modoc people of Northern California and Southern Oregon who are enrolled in The Modoc Nation as “Modoc” as we are the Modoc Tribe who have existed in our Ancestral Homelands for over fourteen thousand years or more.
