According to Slate, anyway, in its article, “Don’t Believe the Anti-Government Tale Spun by This New Dinosaur Documentary.”
The doc is from the POV of a losing party in a famed Indian property case, Black Hills Institute v. South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
An excerpt from the third and final opinion:
Black Hills Institute of Geological Research and Black Hills Museum of Natural History Foundation (collectively, “Black Hills”) appeal the district court’s1 judgment in favor of the United States. The district court found that the United States holds title to a valuable Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton (“the fossil” or “Sue”) in trust for Maurice Williams (“Williams”), an individual Indian who is the beneficial owner of trust land on which Black Hills discovered the fossil. Joseph M. Butler appeals separately from the district court’s order imposing Rule 11 sanctions on Butler for naming an improper party as a defendant. We affirm the district court’s judgment that the United States holds trust title to the fossil and reverse its Rule 11 order.
