house 01/07/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to pass the Eastern Band of Cherokee Historic Lands Reacquisition Act, which aims to place certain federal lands in Tennessee into trust for the benefit of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. This legislation seeks to preserve and honor the cultural heritage and history of the Cherokee people by ensuring these lands are used for memorialization, cultural education, and recreational purposes, without permitting gaming activities.

Do we really need more government bureaucracy in the name of 'trust lands'?
