Bill overview
This bill aims to restore the Indian Reorganization Act’s protections to the Lytton Rancheria of California, a Native American tribe. It specifically allows the Department of the Interior to acquire and place land into trust for the tribe under this act. This action would formally recognize the tribe’s status under the IRA and integrate the newly acquired land into the tribe’s reservation. The bill seeks to correct a previous legal ruling that limited the Department of the Interior’s ability to take land into trust for tribes.
