TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2002 The Senate Indian Affairs Committee next week will hold a hearing on a bill to distribute a land claim award to members of the Western Shoshone Nation. But as Indian Country Today reports, the Shoshone don't want the $121 million judgment fund. Instead, Shoshone tribes have insisted upon upholding their ownership of land under the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. The hearing will be held March 21. Get the Story:
