By Suzanne Gamboa Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) ~ The Obama administration has approved 541 land trust applications for Native American tribes and of those, three were for gaming, an administration official said Thursday. Larry Echo Hawk, Department of Interior assistant secretary, said the majority of the land placed in federal trust was for tribes who used the land for quality-of- life purposes. Of the 541 applications, 89 were for housing, 191 for agricultural purposes, 47 for economic development, 211 for cemeteries, courts, recre- ation, health care, child care, education and law enforcement facilities and three for gaming, said Echo Hawk, who oversees Indian Affairs. Those applications were approved from October 1, 2009 through Sept. 11, 2011 “This is not gaming,” Echo Hawk told the Senate Indian Affairs Committee after ticking off the numbers. Placing land into federal trust - meaning the federal government holds title but the land is set aside for the benefit of the tribe - has become more difficult for tribes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2009 that the Interior Secretary lacks authority to do so for tribes not under federal jurisdiction in 1934, when the Indian Reorganization Act was passed. Many tribes are urging Congress to restore that authority, but efforts have been hindered by concerns about land outside of reservations being put into trust for gaming. Other witnesses in the hearing said the Supreme Court’s ruling has stymied investment in tribal projects that pro- From 10A/OTJS Trial Court decisions continued vide jobs for Native Americans and people in at the Milwaukee polling Election Law allows for case came through a granted this motion pur- June 14, 2011 at 9:00 communities near tribal site, it created a conflict of the Oneida Election motion for an injunction suant to Rules of Civil a.m. Petitioner claims reservations.

A federal Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. • A $760 million Settlement with the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) has been reached in the Keepseagle v. Vilsack class action lawsuit. The lawsuit claimed the USDA discriminated against Native Americans by denying them equal access to credit in the USDA Farm Loan Program. • You may be eligible for a payment of up to $50,000 or more and forgiveness of some or all of your outstanding USDA loans if you applied for or attempted to apply for a farm loan or loan servicing from the USDA between January 1, 1981 and November 24, 1999 (see Question 4). • The USDA has also agreed to make some changes to its farm loan programs to help make sure that these Your Legal Rights and Options in the Settlement programs meet the needs of Native American farm- ers and ranchers • These rights and options – and the deadlines to exercise them – are explained in this notice. • The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. Payments will be made if the Court approves the Settlement and after any appeals have concluded and the claims process is completed. Please be patient.
