• A group of Native Americans is seeking $58 billion from the United States, insisting they were swindled in oil, gas, timber and other royalties handled by the Interior Department since 1887. The trial to determine the amount owed opened yesterday. “There is no legal or factual basis to pay the plaintiffs billions of dollars or even close to a billion dollars,” said a lawyer representing the government. He stated the total would be “in the millions not the billions.” Which means the government will wind up paying thousands.
