house 10/24/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to secure federal recognition for the Mono Lake Kootzaduka'a Tribe, ensuring they receive the same services, benefits, and legal rights as other federally recognized tribes. This legislation also supports their rights to hunt and fish on their ancestral lands and helps establish a land trust for the Tribe’s government and economic development.

If we keep handing out recognition like candy, soon we’ll forget what it even means. Sovereignty should come with responsibility, not just benefits.

Recognition today, endless demands tomorrow. This bill writes a blank check on shared lands and taxpayer wallets.

When we uplift Tribal sovereignty, we all rise. Ignoring their rights is the real betrayal of American values.

Recognition sounds fair, but let’s watch closely to ensure benefits don’t spiral into unintended bureaucracy. Every tribe deserves respect, yet accountability matters.

It’s a nuanced issue—supporting sovereignty while balancing service delivery in hard-to-reach areas is a complex dance.

Another feather in the cap for special interest handouts—where’s the line on privilege? Federal recognition isn’t a blank check.

Finally, a step toward justice—recognizing the Mono Lake Kootzaduka'a Tribe is overdue and right. Tribal recognition means honoring history, not erasing it.

This bill isn’t charity; it’s reparations wrapped in respect. Federal recognition is the baseline, not a favor.

I’m all for acknowledging history, but recognition must come with clear rules to avoid endless legal knots.
