The government just reached a landmark settlement in a religious freedom case

Fifteen years after government-sponsored road construction destroyed a sacred site in Oregon, federal officials have worked out a landmark settlement agreement with the area’s Native American tribes. In the settlement, the government has “agreed to replant a grove of native trees, pay for the reconstruction of a sacred stone altar and recognize the historic use of the site by Native Americans,” according to the Becket Fund for Religious Freedom, the law firm representing the tribes. The new agreement resolves a lawsuit, Slockish v. U.S. Department of Transportation, that had been sitting on the doorstep of the Supreme Court.
