All Native Americans must have the right to have thier own Tribe and be publicly able to teach thier culture,history,language and religion to thier children and whom ever wants to learn.It is a communist act to dictate or prevent the native americans everywhere from teaching and being who they are. We hereby speak out and protest the laws the laws that are being put before Congress and all Federal offices that state anything about Native Americans can not have a Tribe or claim that they are Native American unless they are Fedreally recognized or born on a Reservation.

The feedback from tribal members has been eye-opening. I am currently compiling your stories to present directly to the committee.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Stop trying to erase people just because they dont fit a box on some paper.

This is just wrong. Everyone should be able to celebrate their own heritage and language without the government trying to control who they are.

History belongs to the people who lived it. Nobody has the right to stop them from teaching their kids their own language.

Ridiculous laws. People should be proud of their ancestry and keep their traditions alive for the next generation. Let them be.
