Where are you getting this information and what's the context, Gunnar? I'm curious to look into it.
US v. Sioux Nation of Indians (I think in the early eighties).
Turned downed about $150 million for land.
Long standing treaty dispute . . . they rejected the offer.
Again . . . memory a little fuzzy.
