$380M left over in Native American farmer settlement

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A federal judge on Monday will hear opinions on what to do with $380 million left over from a settlement that was meant to reimburse Native Americans who were discriminated against by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

District Judge Emmet Sullivan has received hundreds of comments, most of them from Native Americans who argue the money should be distributed in another round of payments — a move that the federal government opposes.
