On Native American Heritage Day, a day when everyone can reflect on America's Dark History, with the First People of this land, and overcome the myths that continue to be told about its True Nature.
The Advancing Tribal Parity on Public Lands Act, (H.R.8108).
The Tribal Cultural Areas Protection Act (S.4423)
These Acts would work together to expand Democracy to Tribal Nations, and enable them to Protect Sacred and Cultural sites, by doing the following:
- Prohibits the Sale of Public Land containing a Tribal Cultural site, where a Tribal Nation retains Treaty or other Reserved Rights, or that contains a former Reservation.
- Requires Federal Land Management agencies to provide Tribal Governments with meaningful Public involvement Opportunities in Land Use Planning, and requires that Public Land Advisory Boards include at least One Tribal Representative.
- Establishes a National system of Culturally Significant Sites on Public Lands.
- Prohibits Mining and other forms of Development that would impair Tribal Cultural areas’ and Cultural values'.
- Ensures that Tribal Nations have the ability to Protect, Co-Manage, and use the Cultural Sites they have used for Generations.
