The text discusses H.R. 3333, a bill regarding the disposition of judgments awarded to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation in Montana. The bill allows for funds to be advanced, invested, or reinvested with approval from the tribal governing body and the Secretary of the Interior. The tribes have received settlements in court dockets, with a final award expected to be around $20.5 million. Recommendations are made to protect sums payable to minors or those under legal disability. The tribes plan to distribute 90% of funds per capita and set aside 10% for programming, including scholarships, land acquisition, and a credit program. The tribes are organized under the Act of June 18, 1934, and have a tribal membership of around 5,500.
