<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 6032<\/a> (Rep. Jared Huffman, D-California), the Katimi\u00een and Ameeky\u00e1araam Sacred Lands Act. The bill transfers about 1,031 acres of federal land in northern California into trust for the Karuk Tribe<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 6964<\/a> (Rep. Marilyn Strickland, D-Washington), a bill to authorize leases of up to 99 years for lands held in trust for the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation<\/a> in Washington state. Similar bills have been enacted for other tribal nations.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 7581<\/a> [Discussion Draft ANS to H.R. 7581<\/a>] (Rep. Jared Huffman, D-California), the Yurok Lands Act of 2022. The draft discussion version<\/a> of the bill requires the federal government to acquire about 1,229 acres in the Yurok Experimental Forest and Six Rivers National Forest in northern California into trust for the Yurok Tribe<\/a>. The bill also contains provisions regarding the co-management of such lands by the U.S. and the tribe.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 8115<\/a> (Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-California), the Recreation and Public Purposes Tribal Parity Act. The bill ensures that tribal governments can participate in the purchase of public lands<\/a> through a program already available to state and local governments. The program is run by the Bureau of Land Management<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 8286 <\/a>(Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Washington), a bill to require the federal government to acquire about 1,082 acres in Washington state into trust for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe<\/a>.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 8380<\/a> (Rep. Jes\u00fas G. \u201cChuy\u201d Garc\u00eda, D-Illinois), the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation Settlement Act of 2022. The bill settles a land claim to 1,280 acres in the state of Illinois promised to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation<\/a> by the 1829 Second Treaty of Prairie du Chien<\/a>. The bill establishes a $10 million trust fund for the tribe and requires further negotiations to pay damages to the tribe for the land that was sold by the federal government. \r\n

<\/p>\r\n• H.R. 8387<\/a> (Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Washington), the Parity for Tribal Law Enforcement Act. The bill makes it easier for tribal governments to authorize their officers to enforce federal law<\/a>. It also makes tribal officers eligible for benefits already available to federal law enforcement.\r\n
