WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — Senator Mike Rounds’ legislation to repeal discriminatory federal laws targeting Native Americans passed the House of Representatives last week.
The Repealing Existing Substandard Provisions Encouraging Conciliation with Tribes Act would repeal 11 outdated federal laws, including laws that stripped Native American children from their families for the purpose of placing them in “Indian reform schools,” such as the now-infamous Carlisle Indian Industrial School.
It now heads to the president’s desk for his signature.
