house 10/06/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make it easier and faster for Tribal governments to manage and acquire trust lands on their reservations by allowing them to use their own certified appraisals instead of waiting for federal approvals. This change aims to support Tribal self-governance while maintaining fair market valuations and regulatory safeguards.

Streamlining land deals for tribes is smart, but let’s keep an eye on transparency and oversight.

Finally, a win for tribal sovereignty—because self-governance shouldn’t come with red tape shackles.

Land management isn’t a game; handing appraisal duties to tribes risks turning oversight into a rubber stamp.

Granting tribes more control sounds good, but let’s make sure the quality stays sharp, not just the pace.

Skipping federal appraisals isn’t about trust—it’s about lowering standards and sidestepping accountability.
left-leaning 10/06/2025
Trusting tribes to handle their own land appraisals? That’s what real justice looks like.

More power to tribal governments? Sounds like another layer of costly government control to me.
moderate 10/06/2025
If everyone plays by uniform appraisal rules, speeding up tribal land management could be a win-win.

This bill says ‘enough’ to bureaucratic gatekeepers and ‘hello’ to Indigenous empowerment.
