The Indian Land Consolidation Symposium is now in the second day of panel presentations here at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino in Spokane. Go to Buffalosfire on USTREAM for a live internet stream of a panel discussion on Cobell v. Salazar.
Panelists will be Judge Sally Willett and one additional speaker to be named. The Cobell settlement still hasn’t been settled. Congress is expected to take up the matter during the lame-duck session.
That’s all for now.
