Attorney: Melody McCoy
Case Update
NARF represents the
Turtle Mountain Chippewa, Chippewa Cree,
White Earth Band of Minnesota Chippewa,
and Little Shell Chippewa Tribes in this
case against the Federal government for
misaccounting and mismanagement of their
tribal trust fund, the Pembina Judgment
Fund, since the inception of the fund in
1964. Since the Court denied the United
States' motion last year (2006) to have
the case dismissed, and in December 2006
ordered the case to be at least partially
settled or brought to trial in calendar
year 2007, the parties have resumed negotiated
settlement discussions.
On August 2, 2007, the Court, with the agreement of the parties, ordered the first two temporal phases of the investment claims to be resolved through alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
