The U.S. Department of the Interior reversed a Trump Administration decision that removed the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Tribe’s control over Missouri River mineral rights. The recent action returns tribal control that had been in place for decades.

Dozens of other decisions that affected tribes during the Trump years are awaiting scrutiny, including the reduction of Bears Ears National Monument, rolling back key provisions in the National Environmental Policy Act, and worked to disestablish the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s reservation lands.

The Biden administration is once again reversing negative actions taken during the Trump era.

This time, the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation @MHANation1825 is the beneficiary of change, with the tribe's ownership of the riverbed of the Missouri River being recognized again. pic.twitter.com/2EVA8eARXg
