US to pay $554 million to Navajo Nation in historic settlement

The U.S. Government has agreed to pay the Navajo Nation more than half a billion dollars to settle claims that it mismanaged the tribe's funds and natural resources for decades.

The $554-million settlement agreement is the largest one ever reached with a single Native American tribe.

Carrie Jung, a reporter with KJZZ in Phoenix, joins Take Two for more on the landmark settlement.
