Here are the materials in this update to Grondal v. United States (E.D. Wash.):
An excerpt from the court’s order:
Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on January 21, 2009. Plaintiffs have acquired memberships in and are tenants/occupants of the Mill Bay Resort, a campground located on Lake Chelan in Chelan County, Washington. The Mill Bay Resort exists on real property known as Moses Allotment No.8, also known as Indian Allotment 151-MA-8 (“MA_8”), which consists of approximately 174.26 acres on the shores of Lake Chelan. MA-8 is part of an original allotment authorized under the Moses Agreement of July 7, 1883 as ratified by 23 Stat. 79-80, July 4, 1884 and conveyed to Wapato John through two trust patents. The history of the creation ofMA-8 and other Moses Agreement allotments has been discussed elsewhere, including in this court’s decision on summary judgment (ECF No. 144), in Wapato Heritage, LLC v. U.S., 637 F.3d 1033 (9th Cir. 2011), and in U.S. v. La Chappelle, 81 F. 152 (C.C. 12 Wash. 1897), United States v. Moore, 161 F. 513 (9th Cir. 1908), and Starr v. Long Jim, 227 13 U.S. 613 (1913).
Here are the opinions out of the Eastern District of Washington:
Wapato Heritage DCT Order Granting Partial Summary J
Wapato Heritage DCT Order to Dismiss
An excerpt:
On May 19, 2006, Plaintiff submitted to Defendant a proposed “Replacement Lease” for MA-8, which would run for a term of 99 years and allow housing development on part of MA-8. In order to secure approval of the Replacement Lease, Plaintiff needed to obtain the consent of a majority of the beneficial owners of MA-8. To that end, Plaintiff and the BIA scheduled a number of meetings in the summer of 2006 with Indian landowners to provide information about the Replacement Lease. During the summer of 2006, Plaintiff asserted that a majority of beneficial owners had consented to the Replacement Lease, and included its own approximately 24% ownership interest in calculating that majority. Plaintiff’s interest is a life estate, with the remainder reverting to the Colville Confederated Tribes (“Tribe”).
