| | STATEMENT OF ANDREW GREY, SR., CHAIRMAN, SISSETON-WAHPETON SIOUX TRIBE, MYRA PEARSON, CHAIRWOMAN, SPIRIT LAKE TRIBE, ... |
 | | The judgment concluded that it was the Sisseton and Wahpeton Sioux Tribe that had been wronged by the United States for it was the Tribe, as an entity, that had owned the land at issue in the litigation. |
 | | If the nearly 2,000 persons on the Secretary's roll were to receive the distribution contemplated by P.L. 92-555, each would receive, in principal, more than double the principal amount, calculated on a per capita basis, allocated by that law for distribution to the Tribes and their members. |
 | | Shortly after the Outbreak, the Sisseton and Wahpeton Bands reorganized as the three successor entities on whose behalf this testimony is provided today. |
