MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2002 The Supreme Court on December 2 will hear oral arguments in two cases affecting the federal government's trust responsibility to tribes. The Navajo Nation and White Mountain Apache Tribe both won their breach of trust disputes at the Federal Court of Claims. The Bush administration appealed to overturn the rulings. The nature and extent of the government's fiduciary obligations, and whether money can be awarded for mismanagement, are at issue. Get the Story:
