The Shingle Springs Bill
Federal land will go to Shingle Springs Miwok tribe
Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Land Transfer Act of 2025
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give federal land to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, helping them control their own future.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help the Shingle Springs Miwok Indians by putting federal land in California into a special trust for them. This means the tribe would get to decide what happens on that land, which is important for their way of life and making their community stronger. Some people might wonder about how federal land is used, but this bill is about helping a Native American tribe manage its own resources. It is still moving through Congress, so it is not a law yet.
