Tribal homelands bill on agenda as 118th Congress comes to a close

Another Indian Country bill is up for consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives as the 118th Congress comes to a close.
S.3857, the Jamul Indian Village Land Transfer Act, authorizes the acquisition of about 172 acres in trust for the Jamul Indian Village. The once landless tribe would finally be able to expand its homelands in southern California if the bipartisan bill becomes law.
“For the Jamul people, what was once over 640 acres of ancestral lands
has diminished to just six acres — one of the smallest reservations in the
country,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) said last Thursday.
