Washington, D.C.\u00a0\u2013 Congresswoman Deb Haaland (NM-01), Co-Chair of the Congressional Native American Caucus, released the following statement on today\u2019s Supreme Court ruling to affirm Tribal treaty rights today. The\u00a0McGirt<\/i>\u00a0v. Oklahoma\u00a0<\/i>decision asserts that large portions of Eastern Oklahoma are a part of federally-recognized, sovereign Nations\u2019 land\u00a0because Congress never changed the terms of longstanding treaties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis country was founded on indigenous land and the United States government signed binding treaties with Tribes, but the federal government\u2019s actions demonstrate a lack of respect and breach of those agreements made with Native Nations. Today\u2019s Supreme Court decision affirms the obligation to honor treaties and sets an important precedent to affirm the rights Tribes have to lands that belong to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we move forward addressing longstanding broken promises, this decision will serve as a marker to ensure the federal government honors its promises to Native Nations.\u201d<\/p>\n
