Key Points

  • Congress accepts the Lower Sioux Indian Community’s own request to give up its federal business charter.
  • The law revokes the community’s charter that was created under a 1930s federal Indian law.
  • This mainly affects how the community is set up as a federally chartered corporation, not its day-to-day local government by itself.
  • The change is specific to this one community in Minnesota and does not create a new nationwide rule for other tribes.
