TO REPEAL CERTAIN OBSOLETE LAWS RELATING TO
INDIANS
OCTOBER 22, 2019.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HOEVEN, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 2071]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill,
S. 2071, to repeal certain obsolete laws relating to Indians, having
considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment
and recommends the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 2071 is to repeal eleven outdated federal laws
relating to Indians, with the goal of reversing certain historic
wrongs committed by the United States against Indians and Indian
Tribes.
SUMMARY OF THE BILL
The bill, S. 2071, would repeal eleven laws enacted between 1862
and 1913 relating to Native Americans in the United States. These
laws have been unenforced for decades, and reflect the stigma of
subjugation and paternalism of bygone eras.
Beginning in the mid-1800s, and continuing through the mid-
1900s, the federal government treated Native Americans with hos-
tile aggression and overt racism. This period is often referred to as
the removal and reservations and allotment and assimilation
