H.R. 5035 seeks to amend the Act of June 10, 1968 to allow the Spokane Tribe of Indians of the State of Washington to purchase and consolidate lands within their reservation without the restriction that the value of non-trust lands purchased cannot exceed the value of trust lands sold in the previous year. This bill aims to put the Spokane Tribe on the same footing as other tribes in Washington and Oregon by removing this limitation.
