| 117-hr-6707 | 117 | hr | 6707 | Advancing Equality for Wabanaki Nations Act | Native Americans | 2022-02-11 | 2022-12-07 | Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 432. | House | Rep. Golden, Jared F. [D-ME-2] | ME | D | G000592 | 8 | Advancing Equality for Wabanaki Nations Act This bill allows the Wabanaki Nations in Maine to access future federal laws that are passed by Congress for the benefit of Indian tribes. Four Indian tribes (Maliseet, Micmac, Penobscot, and Passamaquoddy) make up the Wabanaki Nations. Currently, these tribes are unable to access certain federal laws and related benefits because such laws are preempted by the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980. | 2023-03-09T17:47:08Z |
