Payment to tribes overdue

Sun., June 7, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

While the U.S. government under the present administration is making cautious and hopefully successful efforts, worldwide, to promote peace and dialogue, it would be a wonderful and long overdue gesture to release the monies, that this government owes, to the Native American tribes that have long been waiting for what is rightfully due to them. This payment, more so than for any other payment, deserves to be paid in full.
