Tiny steps on Interior shutdown
Thousands of American Indians throughout the country
remain at the mercy of the Department of Interior,
still without critical funds owed to them.
Approval from a a federal court was given to the department
to restart a system that processes royalty payments
to landowners.
But with a third system still on lockdown, beneficiaries
won't see oil and gas payments any time soon.

Norton putting mark on trust reform
Determined to avoid the mistakes of the Clinton administration,
Secretary Gale Norton and her officials are moving to
put their own spin on trust reform, although the sins of
the past may not be inescapable.
The consultation sessions over a proposed
Indian trust agency, for many, show that the Bush
administration hasn't really learned.
In a repeat of prior sessions held elsewhere
in the country,
Alaska Natives got their chance to criticize
the plan this week, just as Norton tires
to figure out where her department is going
with this whole mess.
