Mono Lake Kut-za-dika’a Tribe might get official
According to U.S. Congressman Jay Obernolte’s (R-Hesperia) office, last Tuesday, June 1, he introduced a bill, HR 3649, titled the Mono Lake Kutadika’a Paiute Tribal Recognition Act that would grant federal recognition to the Mono Lake Kutzadika’a tribe as a distinct Native American Tribe. The legislation was originally introduced by former Rep. Paul Cook. The bill would address the tribe’s decades-long struggle for indigenous sovereignty and would afford them the services, benefits, and rights provided to federally recognized tribes, says the communique.
