The board of supervisors in Crawford County, Wisconsin, approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Ho-Chunk Nation.
The tribe will pay the county annually $1,000 for every acre of trust land. That comes to $80,000 a year for the next 25 years.
The agreement requires the money to be used in a way that benefits the tribe. Of the amount, $10,000 will go to a Native American art exhibit and $70,000 will fund an economic development coordinator in the county.
The tribe has trust land in 12 counties.
