Judge Thomas F. Hogan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia finalized settlement of litigation between the Department of the Interior and plaintiffs in Peltier v. Haaland<\/em>. The litigation was filed in 1992 by individual and Tribal beneficiaries of the Pembina Judgment Fund, alleging mismanagement and failure to account. The total amount of the settlement for the Tribes and the individuals is $59 million.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Class Action Settlement Agreement (CASA) settles the claims of 39,003 individual beneficiaries against the United States for mismanagement of the Pembina Judgment Fund, a trust fund containing additional compensation for certain lands that the Pembina Band of Chippewa Indians ceded to the United States. Final approval of the CASA activates the settlement reached in the Court of Federal Claims with the four beneficiary Tribes: the Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy\u2019s Reservation, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana, and the White Earth Band of Chippewa Indians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s settlement builds <\/span>upon the work initiated under the Obama-Biden administration<\/span><\/a>, which settled the vast majority of the outstanding claims, some dating back more than a century, with more than 100 Tribes and totaling over $3.7 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n
