Posted by Sonja Keohane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (by way of [EMAIL PROTECTED]) : The article below is a couple of days old, but I was wondering if anyone had heard of this proposal before or any more about it? It is interesting to me that the DOJ has provided funding for this project. Tribal Chairman Likes High Court Plan (ABC NewsWire) A tribal chairman says a proposed tribal supreme court would allow tribes to settle their own judicial problems. The U-S Justice Department has awarded 250-thousand dollars to the project. Lower Brule Sioux tribal chairman Michael Jandreau (jan-droh) says the supreme court would be located at the Wakpa Sica (SHEE'-ka) area north of Fort Pierre. Jandreau says the court would most likely include representatives from each participating reservation. He says the court would deal with tribal legal issues along with issues involving businesses. He hopes the court will have the same impact as the federal Supreme Court. - Nov 24 5:18 AM EST
