<\/P>\r\nThe House Committee on Natural Resources<\/a> meets for a markup on June 15, 2022.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nFive Indian Country bills are on the agenda, which resumes work that began during a session that went awry amid a partisan-led dispute<\/a> on June 8.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R.5444<\/a>, the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act. The bill requires the federal government to investigate the Indian boarding school era<\/a> through a Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the United States and a Truth and Healing Advisory Committee. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on May 12<\/a>.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n• H.R.6063<\/a>, a bill to authorize the U.S. Court of Federal Claims<\/a> to hear a land claim from the Miami Nation<\/a>, headquartered in Oklahoma. The tribe has a treaty-based claim to 2.6 million acres in the state of Illinois. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on April 27<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R.6181<\/a>, the Samish Indian Nation Land Reaffirmation Act. The bill confirms the acquisition of 6.7 acres in Washington in trust for the Samish Nation<\/a>. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on April 27<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R.6707<\/a>, the Advancing Equality for Wabanaki Nations Act. The bill ensures that the Aroostook Band of Micmacs<\/a>, Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians<\/a>, the Passamaquoddy Tribe [Indian Township<\/a> | Pleasant Point<\/a>] and the Penobscot Nation<\/a> are treated in the same manner as other Indian nations in terms of law and policy. A land claim settlement currently imposes hurdles on the tribes when it comes to their sovereignty. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on March 31<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• S.789<\/a>, the Repealing Existing Substandard Provisions Encouraging Conciliation with Tribes Act or the RESPECT Act. The bipartisan bill repeals outdated racist and discriminatory laws<\/a> that were imposed on tribes and their citizens. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on April 27<\/a>. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs<\/a> approved S.789 at a business meeting on March 24<\/a>. The bill subsequently passed the U.S. Senate<\/a> on May 27.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nNote: Two additional pieces of legislation that were on the June 8 agenda are not on the June 15 agenda. They are:\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• S.314<\/a>, the Klamath Tribe Judgment Fund Repeal Act. The Klamath Tribes<\/a>, headquartered in Oregon, are seeking to repeal a termination-era law that affects their trust funds and trust assets<\/a>. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on April 27<\/a>. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs<\/a> approved S.314 at a business meeting on March 10<\/a>. The bill subsequently passed the U.S. Senate<\/a> on May 26.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• S.559<\/a>, a bill to amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to address lands held in trust in Oregon for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde<\/a>. A hearing before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States<\/a> took place on April 27<\/a>. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs<\/a> approved S.559 at a business meeting on March 10<\/a>. The bill subsequently passed the U.S. Senate<\/a> on May 26.\r\n
