TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2002 "On Feb. 19, the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and the Montana State Land Board entered into an agreement that enables the transfer of 533 million tons of federal coal to the state which lie about three miles east of our reservation. The tribe wants the Feb. 19 agreement and the tribe's position to be fairly represented to the public. Transfer of the Otter Creek tracts will be a windfall to Montana. The state predicts massive development and state and local governmental revenues of $700 million in the first 13 years (dwarfing the $10 million in losses from termination of the gold project near Yellowstone that the Otter Creek transfer was intended to mitigate). . ."
