There are 109 federally recognized sovereign tribes in California (second-highest number in the U.S. after Alaska) and 20 in Nevada.

i hope the fed doesnt sell though, the recreation value has got to be one of the best in the nation.

but the siera club is just a commie front group whose issue is revolution and the destruction of the United States.

and endangered species ? let me see the numbers on the surveys done by the commie infiltrated wild life biologists.

Good, then there will be lots of buyers. If these activists want to control the land, let them pay for it.

Lies from the Sierra Club. Communists use the Endangered Species Act as a weapon against Capitalism. Sell the land Trump.

land from USFS, including Alpine Meadows, Heavenly Valley and beyond...

These are constitutionally state lands held unconstitutionally by the feds.

The feds may only own land inside a state's boundaries (state land) through purchase by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards and other needful Buildings (US Const., Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18).

These including national parks are unconstitutionally held by the feds and should be given back to the states.

Period.

Give any “Federal” land back to the States, to dispose of as
they and their voters see fit.

Maybe put a few conditions like two consecutive legislative session votes to proceed, to give voters a chance to voice and control run away Parties in their states.

the Washoe Tribe, as a federally recognized tribe, is under the BIA’s jurisdiction and receives services from the BIA.

They are served by the Western Nevada Agency of the BIA.

the federal government through the BIA, which provides services and manages lands held in trust for tribes.

ergo

NOT sovereign despite what google and wiki conflate

The Tribal nations can buy the land if they want to build more casinoes.

Many of those “recognized tribes” in California are more Hispanic than Indian. Casino pop-up tribes.

The Bill does not give it back to the States. It gives it to the highest bidder.

i agree completely thats the way it should be,,

but im selfishly conflicted on the issue

i still hope they dont , the recreation value would be priced out of the ability to enjoy worse than it already is.

paying to camp on federal lands was my constant complaint when i worked for the BLM and USFS.
