To reaffirm the applicability of the Act of June 18, 1934, to the Samish Indian Nation, and for other purposes.
HR 6723 reaffirms that the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (IRA) applies to the Samish Indian Nation, a federally recognized tribe in Washington State. The bill explicitly states this reaffirmation does not affect the Samish Nation's existing treaty rights under the Treaty of Point Elliott. As a procedural measure, it clarifies the legal status of the IRA's application to the Samish Nation without creating new rights or altering federal policy. The bill focuses solely on confirming the applicability of an existing law to a specific tribe.
