<\/p>\r\nThe House Committee on Natural Resources<\/a> is meeting to advance more Indian Country bills ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nThree items of interest are on the agenda for the markup session<\/a> on Wednesday morning. They follow:\r\n

<\/P>\r\n \r\n•\r\nH.R.164<\/a>, a bill to authorize the Seminole Tribe<\/a> to lease or transfer certain land in Florida without running afoul of existing federal laws. A hearing hasn’t taken place in the 117th Congress but earlier versions were considered during prior legislative sessions.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n• \r\nH.R.438<\/a>, a bill to amend the Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children Act. The bill extends the deadline for a report by the Alyce Spotted Bear and Walter Soboleff Commission on Native Children<\/a> by another two years. The report would be due sometime in 2024 if H.R.438 became law. A hearing took place<\/a> on May 20.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• \r\nH.R.1619<\/a>, the Catawba Indian Nation Lands Act. The bill confirms that the Catawba Nation<\/a> can engage in gaming on lands acquired in trust in North Carolina. The measure also confirms that the Bureau of Indian Affairs<\/a> has the authority to acquire about 17 acres in in North Carolina trust for the tribe. A hearing hasn’t taken place in the 117th Congress but an earlier version of the bill was considered during the last legislative session. \r\n \r\n
