Potential Issues Surrounding Candy Lake and Skiatook Lake: Recent Developments and Potential Solutions
The memo discusses a report about the Department of Justice (DOJ) pulling out of a case concerning the condemnation of lands for the construction of Candy Lake. The Osage Indians entered the case and asserted their title to the mineral rights. The DOJ pulled out of the case based on the precedent set by the Winnebago Tribe of Indians case, which stated that the US cannot condemn Indian lands without specific authorization from Congress. The memo suggests that any authorization to condemn lands would need to be done by changing the underlying authorization for the lake project. It also mentions the possibility of the Corps and the Osage tribe working out a land swap arrangement.
