117TH CONGRESS REPORT
2d Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 117-606
REPEALING EXISTING SUBSTANDARD PROVISIONS
ENCOURAGING CONCILIATION WITH TRIBES ACT
DECEMBER 7, 2022.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State
of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. GRIJALVA, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 789]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (S. 789) to repeal certain obsolete laws relating to Indians, hav-
ing considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amend-
ment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of S. 789 is to repeal certain obsolete laws relating
to Indians.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION 1
Federal Indian law has existed since the foundation of the
United States, and it serves to govern the relationship between the
federal government and American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Policies that reflect the principles of federal Indian law have under-
gone many transformations throughout American history, as it was
once the policy of the federal government to commit violence and
forced displacement against tribal communities. Although the fed-
eral Indian laws of today better uphold the principles of tribal self-
determination and sovereignty, many enacted laws that reflect the
prior federal policy eras of genocide, removal, assimilation, or ter-
mination still remain in federal law.
