    How would restoring the Lytton Rancheria's federal trust status affect their ability to govern land and generate revenue compared to their current legal standing?

  2. 02

    What does the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act framework provide to tribes that the Lytton Rancheria would gain by having this bill applied to them?

  3. 03

    Why did the 2009 Supreme Court ruling exclude the Lytton Rancheria, and what are the potential consequences of overriding that decision through legislation?
