Hi. I just saw Sue the T-Rex at the Field Museum and I find this news report extremely interesting. I guess that back then nobody thought she would end up in the city of Chicago. Thank You for Sharing!!
Found on my reservation, even a casual observer would note that it was the Williams property. This was very high profile so the politicians were drawn right away, so they over-complicated matters. According to PBS Novas take on the fight for the T-Tex, Mr. Williams first approached the tribe with a 50/50 deal if they would become involved on his behalf. However, the tribal chairman decided that the fossil belonged to the tribal government and tribal lawyers would file suit staking the tribes claim.
