The settlement is regarding a long standing lawsuit for earlier claims.
In your link the Diné mistrust the government's investigatory findings into that leak from earlier this summer. They are two different matters. But we shall see what happens next.

Why not? Obama spent three years fighting tooth and nail to avoid paying, and then when the Supreme Court mandated it, dragged his feet for four years, then reached a "settlement" far lower than what the Indians are entitled to.
Native American tribes win $940 million in suit against the feds
Source: Washington Examiner
Acknowledging the U.S. government's "sad history" with Native American tribes, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced on Thursday that the Obama administration is settling hundreds of 25-year-old claims by tribes and their members against the government for almost $1 billion.
The proposed settlement ends the class-action lawsuit filed by 645 members regarding under-payment for contracts to manage educational, police, fire and other federal services on reservations.
The tribes maintained, and in 2012 the Supreme Court agreed, that the government did not allot enough money to pay the contracts in full.
"This landmark settlement represents another important step in the Obama administration's efforts to turn the page on past challenges in our government-to-government relationship with tribes," Jewell said. "Tribal self-determination and self-governance will continue to be our 'North Star'" as the federal government works to assist tribes in running their own reservations and lands, Jewell said.

These folks won't be ''picking'' on Obama ...
Oh, yeah, we should worship the Great Half-White Father for that!
Don't be bad-mouthing Jim. He did more to raise the average intelligence of the human race than anybody in the 20th century!

Dragged his feet in a lawsuit started when right wing hero George HW Bush was in the White Wash House. Naturally the right wing fan boys overlooked that.

Congressional Budget Office: Budget deficit drops to $435B
By ANDREW TAYLOR
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional budget analysts said Wednesday that the federal government ran a deficit of $435 billion in the just-completed budget year, the smallest deficit since 2007 and well below the record shortfalls of President Barack Obama's first term.
The Congressional Budget Office report says it's the sixth consecutive drop in a row for the deficit, when measured against the size of the economy, since the $1.4 trillion deficit of Obama's first term.
The improved deficit figures come as Washington is grappling with the need to increase the government's borrowing cap in early November. The White House and lawmakers on Capitol Hill are also seeking a separate agreement on a budget to keep the government open past a Dec. 11 deadline.
During Obama's first term, the deficit was greater than $1 trillion for four years in a row in the wake of the Wall Street bailout, a huge stock market drop and a major recession.
The budget office does nonpartisan analysis for Congress; the official government estimate from the White House budget office and Treasury Department typically is released in mid-October.
