Federal judge approves nearly $1 billion settlement between US government and Native American tribes

A federal judge has approved a nearly $1 billion settlement between the Obama administration and Native American tribes over claims the government shorted tribes on contract costs to manage education, law enforcement and other federal services even as far back as the 1970’s.

It is expected that nearly 700 tribes or tribal agencies will claim this approved compensation.
