Lamberth's ruling, the Justice Department complained, described the Interior Department to be a "dinosaur -- the morally and culturally oblivious hand-me-down of a disgracefully racist and imperialist government that should have been buried a century ago, the last pathetic outpost of the indifference and anglocentrism we thought we had left behind."
I work at the USGS, which is a department within the DOI. The USGS does a lot of good science, so this sweeping statement is a bit unfair. That said, I do agree with him that the Indian Trust Fund has been criminally mismanaged. The Tribes have had billions of dollars of usage fees and other monies stolen from them.
