A bill that would give tribes in Wisconsin a non-voting delgate in the state's Legislature is expected to be introduced next session.

Tribal leaders in the state say it would help make sure lawmakers live up to promises made to tribes. One leader says they already have a good relationship with lawmakers, already.

Maine is the only other state with Indian delegates and has had them since 1820.
