The reservoirs created behind the dams flooded about 38,000 acres of the Crow Creek and Lower Brule Indian reservations. The tribes received compensation when the dams were built and additional compensation in the 1990s. The tribes are seeking a third round of compensation based on a consultant's analysis. The Congress provided additional compensation to other tribes after two prior GAO reports. For those reports, GAO found that one recommended approach to providing additional compensation would be to calculate the difference between the tribe's final asking price and the amount that was appropriated by the Congress, and then to adjust it using the inflation rate and an interest rate to reflect a range of current values. GAO was asked to assess whether the tribes' consultant followed the approach used in GAO's prior reports. The additional compensation amounts calculated by the tribes' consultant are contained in H.R. 109 and S. 374. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-517/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-517.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-517/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-517.pdf GAO-06-517 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-517 Other Written Product GAO-06-517; Indian Issues: Analysis of the Crow Creek Sioux and Lower Brule Sioux Tribes' Additional Compensation Claims; Comparative analysis Compensation claims Consultants Dams Economic analysis Evaluation methods Indian lands Native American claims South Dakota Fort Randall Dam (SD) Big Bend Dam (SD) Missouri River Crow Creek Sioux Lower Brule Sioux Volume 72 Page 1766 Volume 72 Page 1773 72 Stat. 1766 72 Stat. 1773 Volume 76 Page 698 Volume 76 Page 704 76 Stat. 698 76 Stat. 704 Volume 106 Page 4600 106 Stat. 4600 Volume 110 Page 3026 110 Stat. 3026 Volume 111 Page 2563 111 Stat. 2563 Volume 114 Page 2365 114 Stat. 2365 Volume 116 Page 2834 116 Stat. 2834 Public Law 85-916 Public Law 85-923 Public Law 87-734 Public Law 87-735
