kʷaxʷad tiiɫ ʔiišədčəɫ Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill updates a 1989 law to give the Puyallup Tribe more control over their own money. It allows the Tribe to withdraw funds from their Settlement Trust Fund, which was originally set up to resolve legal and land claims.
• To access the money, the Tribe must create a management plan. This plan must be approved by the Secretary of the Interior to ensure the funds are handled responsibly and used to benefit tribal members.
• The policy includes a rule to make sure the Puyallup Tribe is treated the same as other tribes in the future. It guarantees they can benefit from any new federal laws passed after this bill becomes law.
• This change is important because it supports tribal sovereignty, which is the right of Native American tribes to govern themselves. It allows the Tribe to decide how to best use their own resources to help their community.
