Native American tribes have reached a $665 million settlement with three of the nation’s biggest opioid distributors as well as drugmaker Johnson & Johnson, a filing with the U.S. District Court in Cleveland on Tuesday showed. Native American tribes, who have “suffered some of the worst consequences of the opioid epidemic of any population in the United States,” have reached a settlement in principle with Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals and three drug distributors, attorneys representing the tribes said Tuesday. The settlement — which has been agreed to in principle, but still requires finalization — says the pharmaceutical giant will pay $150 million to tribal communities over two years.
