THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2001 Tribal leaders from all over Indian Country blasted Secretary of Interior Gale Norton's proposal to create a new Indian trust agency. An estimated 500 to 600 tribal representatives gathered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the start of the formal consultation process. Those who spoke opposed the idea and called on Norton to halt it and go back to the drawing table with tribes. Get the Story:
