The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill,

BACKGROUND AND NEED
The Winnebago Tribe is a federally-recognized Tribe with a res-
ervation located on the banks of the Missouri River in both Ne-
braska and Iowa. In the 1830s, the federal government began to
forcibly remove the Winnebago Tribe from its homelands in Wis-
consin, to Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and finally, in 1865, to
its present-day reservation in Nebraska and Iowa.'
