Provides $33.9 million to Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, clearing land titles for current owners.
This bill would set aside $33.9 million for the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community to compensate them for land taken by the U.S. government long ago. In return, the Community's claims to these lands would end, giving clear ownership to people who currently live on them.
Today, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community has claims to thousands of acres of land within their reservation that were taken without fair payment, causing uncertainty for current landowners. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. government would pay the Community $33,900,000. This payment would end the Community's claims and give clear legal titles to the current landowners of those lands.
