In December 2009 the U.S. departments of the Interior and Justice reached a settlement on the long-running Cobell class-action lawsuit regarding the federal government’s mismanagement of more than 300,000 individual American Indian and Alaska Native trust accounts.
Edward Valandra, a Lakota scholar and the founder and research Fellow of the Community for the advancement of Native Studies (CANS), will be giving a luncheon talk in the English Department Conference Room, 213 Morrill Hall at 12:00 noon on Friday August 19. He will be critiquing recent developments in Cobell v. Salazar and how they affect the rights of Native peoples in this long standing case.
