It can now be sent to the U.S. Senate<\/a>.\r\n <\/P>\r\nA prior version of the bill<\/a> passed the House during the 116th Congress but did not advance in the Senate.\r\n <\/P>\r\n November 1 marks the start of National Native American Heritage Month and the U.S. House of Representatives is getting to business with a slew of Indian Country bills. #House<\/a> #117th<\/a> #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/lpME9BkwRK<\/a><\/p>— indianz.com (@indianz) November 1, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
