202062P.pdf   08/25/2021  Rosebud Sioux Tribe  v.  USA
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2062
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Shepherd and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Indian law. The district court did not err in declaring the 
   United States has a duty to provide "competent physician-led healthcare" 
   to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and its members. In light of the promises the 
   United States made to the Tribe more than 150 years ago in the Fort 
   Laramie Treaty, and relevant legislation since that time, such as the 
   Snyder Act and the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, the district court 
   correctly articulated the existence and scope of the duty, and the 
   declaratory judgment entered by the district court is affirmed. Judge 
   Kobes, dissenting.
