The River Tribe Bill
Federal land will go to Pit River Tribe
Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give federal land in California to the Pit River Tribe, helping them manage their own future.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill is a big deal for the Pit River Tribe. It would give them control over land that is important to their history and culture. When land is "in trust," it means the federal government holds the legal title, but the tribe controls how the land is used. This helps the tribe make their own decisions about housing, businesses, and protecting their sacred places. It's important for people to know about this bill because it supports Native American tribes taking charge of their own lands.
