Leave a comment By baregrass, on March 10th, 2010 Looks like I have abandoned this blog again but to tell the truth I just haven’t had a lot to say lately and I’ve been rather busy with other interests. My bandmates and I have been getting ready for the bluegrass festival coming up in May in Tucumcari, New Mexico so it’s been practice, practice.

The lawsuit claimed that the federal government mismanaged individual Indians’ trust accounts and had been doing so for around a hundred years. For more and [...] [...] December 9th, 2009 | Tags: Cobell vs Salazar, Cobell vs. Kempthorne, Indian Trust Funds, Native Americans | Category: baregrass |

More specifically, Obama is committed to meaningful reform of the broken system that manages and administers the trust lands and other trust assets belonging to tribes and individual Indians.

It will be interesting to see what happens because the history of the state of Colorado’s relations with Native Americans is very bad. Basically the Native people were [...] [...] February 17th, 2009 | Tags: Add new tag, Cobell vs. Kempthorne, Native Americans | Category: baregrass |
