TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2002 The Supreme Court has accepted just two Indian law cases since its last term but they could be among the most important ever. That has tribal leaders and observers worried. "I think its very bleak with respect to the Supreme Court, which has been the traditional protector of tribal rights," professor Robert Anderson told the Associated Press. The Bush administration wants to reverse tribal victories on breach of trust cases. The first involves the Navajo Nation's claim to $600 million for an unfavorable lease while the second affects $14 million in repairs to crumbling buildings on the Fort Apache Reservation in Arizona.
