Bill overview
This bill seeks to officially recognize the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians of Michigan as a federally recognized tribe. It affirms their historical connection to the region and provides them with eligibility for federal services and benefits, regardless of a reservation’s existence or individual members’ locations. The bill also directs the Department of the Interior to acquire land for the tribe’s benefit and to accept property into trust, ultimately aiming to establish a sovereign tribal presence and improve access to resources for the band’s members.
