  S. 3186/HR 6148, The Advancing Tribal Parity on Public Lands Act would increase protection for public lands that are also the home to tribal sacred sites and require consultation with tribal governments before the land could be sold to private developers. The Tribal Cultural Areas Protection Act (S 3185/HR 6147) would provide the same protections for tribal cultural areas as there currently is for national parks. Let’s tell our MoCs that we support these important steps toward greater Native American rights and we want them to co-sponsor these bills and to work to bring them to the floor for a vote and pass them.
