Congressman Greg Gianforte reintroduced legislation providing federal recognition to the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
Gianforte spoke on the House floor today to introduce the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians Restoration Act and urge lawmakers to pass the bill.
"We take up their worthy cause again today as I reintroduce the bill," Gianforte said. "I call on this body to consider and pass this bill again. This Congress should provide the Little Shell Tribe with the federal recognition it deserves, particularly after its eight decades of dedicated efforts."
