Haliwa Saponi Indian Tribe of North Carolina Act
Introduced Apr 17, 2025 by Rep. Donald G. Davis
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill extends full federal government-to-government relations to the Haliwa Saponi Indian Tribe of North Carolina.
The bill makes the tribe and its members eligible for services and benefits provided to federally recognized tribes, without regard to the existence of a reservation. The service area of the tribe shall include Halifax, Warren, Nash, Franklin, Vance, and Granville Counties in North Carolina.
The tribe must submit the most recent membership roll and governing documents to the Department of the Interior.
The bill also authorizes Interior to take land into trust for the benefit of the tribe and proclaim a reservation for the tribe.
