Tribal Notice:

On June 10, 1996, a class action complaint was filed by Elouise Cobell vs the Secretary of Interior. The complaint alleged breaches of trust by the United States and its trustee-delegates regarding the management of Individual Indian Money (IIM) Accounts held on behalf of individual Indians.  Karuk Tribal members may inquire and register by following the links on the website http://www.cobellsettlement.com or call a toll free number, 1 (800) 961-6109 and register their names there. 

Tribal members will probably not be affected by the settlement of this case, however the Tribe wishes to advise membership of this information so that members can register and receive notification if they are a party to the case. 

Regards,

Bob Goodwin
