FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2002 A federal judge on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order against the Department of Interior to protect records belonging to American Indians. The order was issued to prevent the pending move of 32,000 boxes of documents currently being stored in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But according to the department's own reports and an investigation by special master Alan Balaran, countless number of records have already been shipped off to federal repositories. At least 35,000 boxes have gone out of department hands, according to the figures. These represent both tribal and individual Indian documents. Get the Story:
