The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.226, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Historic Lands Reacquisition Act, on February 4, 2025.
A DuLarge Native American won a national award for rediscovering and sharing cultural techniques.
The land has been held by the government for a few decades, but Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN) has been working on getting it back in the hands of the Cherokee tribe.
