Description
Compensation for a tribe flooded by a federal dam program is provided by Public Law 106-511, approved November 13, 2000. Title I may be cited as the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Equitable Compensation Act, for South Dakota. It aims to give equitable compensation to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
The findings trace the Flood Control Act of 1944, which approved the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin program. That program sought economic development, irrigation above Sioux City, Iowa, and protection from Missouri River floods. The Oahe Dam and Reservoir is a major part of it, generating hydropower and storing much water. The reservoir overlies the eastern boundary of the Cheyenne River Sioux reservation, as the findings begin to explain the loss.
