Sioux Nation Presses Claim Against Government Over 1851 Treaty
A Fort Belknap tribal meeting debated joining Assinniboine claims to Sioux money due under the 1851 treaty when Minnesota lands were sold. Elders push for immediate action, while younger members favor awaiting a Congressional jurisdictional bill championed by Scott Leavitt. Wheelock argues Assinniboine and Sioux shares are closely linked, proposing a unified suit in the court of claims.
