(CN) - Descendants of slaves owned by Native Americans cannot sue the federal government for allegedly collecting royalties on lands given to them post-Civil War, a federal judge ruled. After the fall of the Confederacy, the United States signed treaties in 1866 that, in part, emancipated the slaves owned by the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes" - the Seminole, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, and Chickasaw - rendering them "Freedmen." Decades later, the federal government enacted a 1908 law that removed all restrictions on tribal lands allotted...
HIGHLIGHTS: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin v. United States that a tribe has six years from the time a claim for self-determination contract support costs (CSC) first arises to present the claim to a governmental agency allegedly owing it reimbursement for those costs. A tribe cannot rely upon equitable tolling to lengthen that time period unless it has both diligently pursued its claims and encountered extraordinary circumstances beyond its control that prevented the timely presentation of...

In a recent survey, 56 percent of Americans said they have less than $1,000 in their checking and savings accounts combined, Forbes reports. Nearly a quarter (24.8 percent) have less than $100 to their name. Meanwhile, 38 percent said they would pay less than their full credit card balance this month, and 11 percent said they would make the minimum payment—meaning they would likely be mired in debt for years and pay more in interest than they originally borrowed. It paints a daunting picture of the average American coming out of the s...
Curtis Gagnon still holds the summons from 1984, a small piece of paper ordering him to court for shooting a moose off reservation land — a mistake, he said, that triggered "four years of living hell." He'd shot the animal but it ran. He followed its bloody trail for miles but never found it. That night, Gagnon told the Grand Portage band's game warden where he'd shot the moose. "He said, 'Curt, you weren't on the reservation.' I said, 'What? No!'" Gagnon knew hunting off reservation land, outside the state's sanctioned hunting seasons, was i...
A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by a group of Pojoaque Valley residents in a decades-old dispute over who owns roads crossing tribal lands used to access private property adjacent to San Ildefonso Pueblo. In a 55-page memorandum filed on Saturday, U.S. District Judge James O. Browning ruled that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the complaint filed by the group — called Northern New Mexicans Protecting Land, Water and Rights — because it had not satisfied the requirements to sue under the federal Quiet Title Act. htt...
