Abstract | The federal government's trust responsibility toward Native Americans involves protection of their lands, resources, and right to self-government and provision of services (including education). However, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has misplaced billions of dollars owed Native American individuals and tribes and now faces class-action litigation. Proposed Congressional "reforms" may mask new efforts to terminate treaty rights. (SV) |
