Descendants of an 1862 American Indian conflict are going to court to try to claim their share of profits from tribal casinos in Minnesota.
Ten-thousand people nationwide have researched their family trees in hopes of joining the case.
A lawyer representing about 6,500 plaintiffs says about one-third of them live in South Dakota and every reservation in the state has residents involved.
Whether any damages will be awarded is still undetermined.
The Indians have watched relatives from Minnesota's Shakopee, Prairie Island and Lower Sioux Mdewakanton communities profit from the casinos.
The operations are located on land originally placed in trust for a couple hundred Dakota Sioux Indians and their descendants |
