We support LD 2004 — Restore Access to Federal Laws Beneficial to the Wabanaki Nations

This bill would allow Wabanaki peoples to benefit from future federal legislation for tribes. Unlike every other federally recognized tribe in the United States, Wabanaki tribes are currently excluded from such legislation unless they are explicitly written into it. LD 2004 would rectify this unequal treatment by changing a provision of the 1980 Settlement Act. We support this one. This bill could have its votes in the chambers this week, possibly as soon as Tuesday, June 20. It'll need 2/3 support of the Legislature in order to avoid a possible veto by the Governor. Take action now by contacting your legislators: tell them to support LD 2004!
