improvements to case description[edit]

I have improved the facts, and added a section on the 20th century litigation which was the crux of the case. I will turn my attention to the third section, legal analysis which needs a good deal of work, shortly.FrederickFolger ⚓^(talk) 15:59, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay done. Now I am troubled about this assertion that the award has been sitting in a Bureau of Indian Affairs account drawing interest since 1980, and that it currently stands at $570 million. That is what a magazine article reported, but I question its accuracy: I think somebody may simply have taken the sum awarded and then multiplied by 30 years' interest. Did Treasury actually draw a check payable to the Bureau of Indian Affairs--without Sioux permission? If so, did the Bureau lose the money as the Government Accounting Office determined happened with other accounts? I have written an e-mail to the Bureau and will attempt to get some details.FrederickFolger ⚓^(talk) 13:20, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
