The fired USAs and Indian Country

There's a great discussion going on over at the Next Hurrah, where Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel) of Plame Fame has been looking into the possible import of fired Michigan USA Margaret Chiara's position as head of the Native American Issues Subcommittee at DoJ. Make sure you read the comments as well (particularly since I've been actively opining away!)

While I'm clearly Indian-centric on many issues, I'm not convinced that all the USA firings are related to Indian Country. But I think a number of them, particularly in the Southwest, clearly are, and now Chiara could be added to that list.

See those four squares in our logo? We call it the cursor, and like an old-school command prompt, it means we're awaiting input. current.tv

I really wish I was still in touch with Lee Sprague. I think his perspective on the matter might be interesting.

I should see if I can find his contact info.

Are there any maps showing the geographical dispersion of Cobell class claimants' land holdings? I'll bet that FAIR would like to see those...

Chris, that would be awesome.


BT, I know that somewhere I've run across a map of trust holdings. I'll see if I can find it.
