(LEWISTON) – Members of the Nez Perce Tribe in northern Idaho will receive about $8,600 each as part of a federal lawsuit involving the misuse of tribal lands. Earlier this year 41 Native American tribes were awarded more than $1 billion from the federal government, and more than $33.7 million went to the Nez Perce, which has about 3,500 members. An additional $3 million will go to the tribe’s Native American Rights fund.
