Two Native American tribes have brought forth claims to the Supreme Court seeking to force the federal government to honor its trust obligations to them. On December 2, the Supreme Court heard preliminary arguments relating to one the largest tribal trust mismanagement cases in legal history, with questions raised about the responsibilities of the U.S. government in acting as trustee for Native lands. The Court has agreed to hear two important cases, U.S. v. Navajo Nation, 01-1375, and U.S. v. White Mountain Apache Tribe, 01-1067. http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/fileuMRlOX#_Americas
