ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) â The U.S. Supreme Court was set to hear oral arguments in a case that will determine who is eligible to receive more than $530 million in federal virus relief funding set aside for tribes more than a year ago.
More than a dozen Native American tribes sued the U.S. Treasury Department to keep the money out of the hands of Alaska Native corporations, which provide services to Alaska Natives but do not have a government-to-government relationship with the United States.
The question raised in the case set for oral arguments on April 19 is whether the corporations are tribes for purposes of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which defines âtribesâ under a 1975 law meant to strengthen their abilities to govern themselves.

Consumer advocacy groups, environmentalists and the New Mexico attorney general s office are raising concerns about a proposed multibillion-dollar merger of the state s largest electric utility with a U.S. subsidiary of global energy giant Iberdrola.
The groups have filed testimony with state regulators ahead of hearings that begin next month.
It will be up to the Public Regulation Commission to determine if the merger provides meaningful benefits to Public Service Co. of New Mexico customers and if it would be in the public interest.
Some groups say PNM shareholders will benefit from the proposed transaction and that it could end up stifling competition for renewable energy development in New Mexico.
