BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says $500 million in federal stimulus money will go to American Indian tribes across the United States for schools, housing, infrastructure improvements and job programs on reservations.

Salazar made the announcement Saturday at the United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, N.D.

Salazar was in North Dakota to visit several places, including an energy center on the Fort Berthold reservation and the Great Plains Synfuels plant to look at its carbon capture project.
