Deadline to file claims under Cobell settlement nears

FARMINGTON — The deadline to file a claim in a settlement for a class-action lawsuit centering on Indian trust assets is next week.

The settlement is the result of a class-action lawsuit filed in 1996 by the late Elouise Cobell, who was an enrolled member of the Blackfoot Tribe in Montana, against the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Treasury.
