FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2002 Three Oklahoma tribes praised passage of a bill to settle their ownership rights in the Arkansas river bed. The Cherokee, Chickasaw and Choctaw nations lost land to white settlement and a shifting river. They will share a $40 million payment. The Cherokee Nation will get half, the Choctaw 37.5 percent and the Chickasaws 12.5. President Bush has to sign the bill to make it official. Get the Story:
