Attorney: John Echohawk
Case Update
John Echohawk continues his role as Of Counsel in this case working primarily on settlement issues with the private attorneys involved in this case. We filed this case with them in 1996 to force the federal government to provide accountings to the 500,000 past and current individual Indian money account holders who have their funds held in trust by the federal government. A trial to review the methodology and results of the government's accounting thus far as ordered by the federal courts in this case began on October 10, 2007. In addition, we are in the process of assessing whether there are any issues of conflicts of interest that may arise in the Cobell trial with our tribal clients in the tribal trust funds case, Nez Perce Tribe v. Kempthorne.
