Plan for the Use and Distribution of Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation Judgment Funds in Docket No. 773-87L

Résumé

Notice is hereby given that the plan for the use and distribution of the Tribe's portion of the judgment funds awarded in Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation, et al. v. U.S., Docket No. 773-87L is effective as of May 29, 2004. On March 18, 1999, $4,522,551.84 was appropriated to satisfy an award that was made by the United States Court of Federal Claims to the Tribe and individual Indian plaintiffs in Docket No. 773-87L. A percentage of the Tribe's portion of the aggregate award was transferred to a separate tribal trust fund account on February 14, 2001. The Tribe will most likely receive additional payments from the aggregate award once the identification of all individuals eligible to share in the aggregate award is complete and the pro rata shares are calculated. This plan pertains to the Tribe's portion ($643,186.73) of the aggregate award and any additional funds the Tribe may receive from the aggregate award fund.
