Show I I A The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, August I! 23, 1981 Indian Activism Turns to Adjudication in Fight for Lands Continued From 3 decade are now being argued to courtrooms, offices and governors legislatures and in the board rooms of energy companies. One reason: Courts and governmental bodies have found some validity to Indian arguments. The U.S. Supreme Court awarded the Sioux $105 million for thp seizure of their Black Hills; Congress settled a land dispute by granting two Maine tribes $82 million. Land claims involving millions of acres from Florida and New York to Arizona and Washington State are before courts, with the South Dakota and Maine cases now standing as precedents. Beyond Militancy Tribes are beyond militancy now, beyond the need for recognition," says Mandy Scott, Indian Affairs advisor to Gov. John Spellman of Washington, scene of A-1- some of the longest-standin- g Indian disputes. They are now building economics systems for their people for generations to come. Weve gone from the placardcarrying demonstrator to a sophistication that allows people to negotiate with responsible offi- cials." Steven Tullberg, a lawyer with the Indian Resources Center in Washington, thinks that Indians may have to resume demonstrations, but concedes: Theres been an advance in the notion that there should be law governing the affairs of the United States and the Indian. 'Them vs. Us For the time being, at any rate, the them vs. us fever that characterized relations in the 1970s seems much abated.. Symbolic, perhaps, was the presentation Some examples The 1980 Supreme Court decision to award the Sioux $105 million culminated 58 years of litigation over an issue rooted in events like Custers last stand, the 19th century battle of Wounded Knee, and the 1973 occupation. The court, by a vote of ruled that Congress had illegally seized 703 million acres of the Black Hills from the tribe in 1877. That seizure was in retribution for the massacre of George Armstrong Custer and his men at the Little Big Horn. But the Indian Wars that led to that battle had been precipitated when white gold prospectors moved into the Hills in violation of the Fort Laramie treaty : Arizona tribes totaling nearly $60 million since 1972. The largest was. a 1976 agreement to pay the Papago tribe about $26 million for 6.3 acres of land. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that refused to dismiss the cision to sign contracts will increase the share of water Indian tribes get from the Central Arizona Project, which is diverting some of the Colorado River to central and southern Arizona. that putes involving other government to speed up the settlement of Indian land claims and be more vigilant in protecting In Americans and Indians. water-manageme- nt Former Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus de Give your back a lift!

Now he was cited for leadership in seeking equal opportunities for and received Indians the honor along with Walter Cronkite, David Stockman, and Warren Christopher of the State Department. More significant for the future of Indians is Council the of Energy Resource Tribes, a consortium of 25 tribes in eight Western states. Supply and Demand The idea is as old as free enterprise supply and demand. The combined tribes control an estimated 40 percent of the countrys uranium deposits, a third of its low sulfur coal and large deposits of oil, natural gas, shale rock and geothermal energy. It gives them bargaining power with the government and energy companies. Shall we eat. drink and be merry? Sell off ld our assets, strip-min- e our coal and take part in American affluence at least once in our history. asks Peter MacDonald, chairman of both the council and the Navajo nation, which once sold off its coal for 15 cents a ton. Or shall we sit down and bargain now for the future, a future significantly different from our past and present conditions of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, malnutrition and economic dependence? Some Validity While a lot of Indians still feel theyve received far less than their due, courts have rarely dismissed their claims out of hand. Most have found some validity to their allegations.
