Statement by President Obama
"I welcome the final approval of the Cobell
settlement agreement, clearing the way for reconciliation between the trust
beneficiaries and the federal government. While Elouise Cobell, the named
plaintiff in this case is no longer with us, her legacy will be a renewed
commitment to our trust relationship with Indian Country. I thank her for
her honorable work, and also want to thank the leaders at the Departments of
the Interior, Justice and Treasury who helped reach this conclusion."
