Discusses questions raised regarding impact of the expiration of 28 U.S.C. 2415, which limits the period within which damages actions on tort and contract claims must be brought by the U.S. on suits by Indian tribes and individual Indians. Examines how this will affect suits brought by individual Indians and tribes, as well as implications of the running of the statute of limitations with respect to trust obligations of the U.S. toward Indians
