It looks like the
Bureau of Indian Affairs
is breaking its unofficial boycott of the
House
Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs.
The BIA hasn't sent a representative to the subcommittee since a
March 20 hearing.
But the agency's director, Michael Black, will be testifying tomorrow on three bills.
The bills are:
• H.R.
726, To amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to make technical corrections,
and for other purposes.
• H.R.
3319, To allow the Pascua Yaqui Tribe to determine the requirements for
membership in that tribe.
• H.R.
6141, To provide for the addition of certain real property to the
reservation of the Siletz Tribe in the State of Oregon.
The hearing takes place at 2pm in Room 1334 of the Longworth House Office Building. The witness list follows:
