Poarch Band of Creek Indians Lands Act
This bill, HR 6180, officially recognizes the Poarch Band of Creek Indians as a federally recognized tribe under the Indian Reorganization Act. It reaffirms all lands previously taken into trust for the tribe by the U.S. government as valid trust lands, ratifying the Secretary of the Interior's actions. The law applies retroactively to June 18, 1934, covering all existing and future legal challenges regarding the tribe's land titles or the validity of trust acquisitions. This directly affects the Poarch Band of Creek Indians' land holdings and legal standing on federal trust lands.
