Legislative Progress
Most bills that grant tribal recognition face a long process in committee and many never make it to a full vote in the House or Senate.
Key Points
- This bill would officially recognize the Mono Lake Kootzaduka’a Tribe as a sovereign nation. This status gives the tribe a formal relationship with the United States government, which they currently do not have.
- Members of the tribe would become eligible for federal programs and services, such as healthcare and education assistance. These benefits would be available to members living in Mono and Inyo counties in California.
- The government would set aside land in Mono County to be held in trust for the tribe. This land would be used for tribal government offices, housing for members, and businesses to help the tribe grow its economy.
- The tribe would gain specific rights to hunt and fish on federal lands within their traditional home areas. Federal agencies would be required to work with the tribe to make sure these activities can happen safely and legally.
