We are working to pass legislation that fairly compensates the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community for land taken by the U.S. government without just compensation, honoring treaty rights from 1854 while providing clear land titles for current owners. This aims to resolve historical injustices through a peaceful and equitable settlement.
