The Justice Department has announced it had agreed to pay 41 tribes — many in the western U.S. — about $1.023 billion because the Interior and Treasury departments had failed to adequately oversee concessions on Indian lands from companies that exploit a wide variety of resources, including minerals, timber, oil and gas, dating back more than 100 years in some cases....The Osage tribe of Oklahoma, for example because of its extensive oil and gas reserves will get $380 million. The tribe has about 16,000 members.... President Barack Obama signed legislation in December 2010 authorising payment for a similar, though far larger, settlement for Indians. That money, totalling $3.4 billion, has not been distributed because of several pending lawsuitsHopefully the tribes can now kick the government out of their health care system and get decent care for their folks. Which is why no one in the press bothered to examine either the VA or the IHS to see how government health care (with rationing) would work in the real world.
