South Dakota attorney general Larry Long, who has fought tribes on land-into-trust, sovereignty and jurisdiction issues, will testify this Thursday on the
U.S. Supreme Court
decision in
Carcieri
v. Salazar.
Long, who serves as chairman of the
Conference of Western Attorneys General, has argued that the land-into-trust provisions of the
Indian
Reorganization Act of 1934 are unconstitutional. He has signed onto a number of briefs opposing tribal rights in several Supreme Court cases, including Carcieri.
Also scheduled to testify before the
Senate Indian Affairs
Committee are
Ed Lazarus, of
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, and Ron Allen, the secretary of the
National Congress of American Indians and the chairman of the
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe of Washington.
