| Summary: | Case summary: Class action suit brought by individual Indians and Indian bands to stop the Secretary of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs from spending Pala Indian Irrigation Project funds for the benefit of a non-Indian owner of land situated within the Indian irrigation district. The Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part the District Court's holding regarding spending of Indian irrigation project funds for benefit of non-Indian land owner within the project. The Court of Appeals reaffirmed the expenditure by the Secretary of Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs was not an unconstitutional taking under applicable federal laws and remanded the Indian's claim as to the validity of reimbursement charges. |
