Should Congress control tribal recognition? Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — A Republican proposal to let only Congress decide whether American Indian tribes deserve federal recognition threatens the legitimacy of hundreds of tribes and would add delay to what was long a broken system, an Obama administration official said Wednesday. The comments came as a House committee considered legislation to block the administration’s recent overhaul of the tribal recognition process. Republicans contend that the changes finalized by
the Interior Department over the summer lowered the standards for recognizing tribes and diminished the role of lawmakers. There are 566 federally recognized tribes in the U.S., and groups in Louisiana, Michigan, Florida, California and other states want to join their ranks. Some, such as Montana’s Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, have waited years or decades for a decision. Since the recent changes, federal officials announced recognition for yet another group, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe of Virginia, but the matter remains unsettled because the

Melissa Springer, an Everett resident, countered that the city should pass the ordinance, because the city was already taking other steps. “I believe we can do two things at once. We are looking upstream,” she said. The ordinance has drawn the attention of outside groups as well as local activists. Late Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington and Seattle University’s Homeless Rights Advocacy Project sent Mayor Ray Stephanson and the council letters urging the council to reject the ordinance, stating that it is “unconstitutional, ineffective, and unnecessarily costly and punitive,” according to the ACLU. Instead, the city should invest its resources into providing more services for those who are homeless or otherwise affected by poverty. Deputy city prosecutor David Hall told the council that the ordinance should be considered in the context of other initiatives
decision is under appeal. Federal acknowledgement allows tribes to be treated largely as their own nations within U.S. borders, with independent governments and legal systems. It also makes tribes eligible for federal housing, medical care and education. Republican U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop of Utah said during a Wednesday hearing on his proposal that Congress should have the final say in such matters. But that would bring back the worst of the old system, undermining attempts to create a more transparent and efficient process, Interior
the city is undertaking to combat homelessness and associated issues such as mental health, addiction and street-level crime. “Everett is in fact doing many of the things the authors of those letters emphasize,” Hall said. “The legitimate desire to protect our citizens is not, I would propose, the same thing as criminalizing homelessness,” he added. Councilwoman Judy Tuohy sponsored two amendments to the measure, one of which inserted a clause that emphasized that deferring panhandlers into social service programs was preferable to arresting and booking them. The other removed language that would have had the city set up and maintain a fund to collect donations, instead of directing would-be donors to a list of agencies. Tuohy, as well as Councilmen Scott Murphy, Jeff Moore and Scott Bader voted in favor of the revised ordinance. Councilmembers Brenda Stonecipher and Ron Gipson voted against it. Councilman Paul Roberts was absent. “I don’t like it. It appears we have an aggressive begging ordinance on the books already,” Gipson said. “I don’t support
Department Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Kevin Washburn said in remarks prepared for Wednesday delivery. Washburn also said the Republican plan “creates serious doubts” about the legitimacy of more than 200 tribes in Alaska and more than a dozen in California recognized by his agency over the past several decades. “Every one of those tribes is at risk because they are not congressionally recognized,” he said. Bishop, who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee, said the recognition system has been
this, changing the rules to target certain people.” Scott Murphy reiterated the point that the city was undertaking a number of initiatives, and that law enforcement had to be part of the solution. “I strongly believe that this ordinance as amended is a vote for public safety,” Murphy said. The ordinance will take effect 15 days after Stephanson signs it, after the amendments are added. The city’s ordinance took a circuitous route to Wednesday’s passage. An earlier version of the ordinance, which also drew the attention of the ACLU, was rejected by the council in April. That version emphasized safety, outlawing panhandling in median strips near intersections, for example. The current version originally included clauses that would have banned begging near ATMs and banks or lines for entertainment events. Those sections were removed after a federal judge struck down a similar measure in the city of Grand Junction, Colorado, this month. The city’s attempts to strengthen its codes have come after it adopted the findings of
a mess for decades. Any tribes that were lawfully recognized would not be affected by his proposal, he said. “My goal is to empower Native American tribes. We don’t have a great record. We do a lot of lip service to it,” he said, adding that he would be open to changes to his proposal as long as Congress makes the final decisions. Existing tribes with casino operations have aired similar concerns about the recent changes to the process. The ranking Democrat on the Natural Resources subcommittee that is
its Streets Initiative Task Force last year, which include 63 recommendations for dealing with Everett’s chronic problems with homelessness, and mental illness, addiction and petty street crime. Most of those recommendations focused on social services provisions, but they also included law enforcement recommendations. One of those was an earlier version of an anti-panhandling ordinance, which didn’t have unanimous support of the task force but was nonetheless included in the final report. Stephanson’s budget proposal for 2016, which was also presented at Wednesday’s council meeting, includes setting aside $1 million for a variety of initiatives surrounding street-level problems. Those include hiring five more police officers, two fulltime social workers to ride along with the cops, and a new prosecutor. Stephanson also intends to build 20 new permanent supportive housing units over the next two years for frequent users of city and emergency services.

considering the issue, Rep. Raul Ruiz of California, said the proposal would infuse “hyper-partisan” politics into the issue, allowing Bishop and the speaker of the House to control which groups are recognized, since they can decide what matters come up for a vote by lawmakers. Yet the Interior process also has been tainted by politics, according to past investigations by the agency’s Office of Inspector General. That includes a 2002 investigation that found a senior Interior official issued recognition decisions contrary to staff recommendations.

“This is not a typical laser you’d see in a classroom or an office setting,” Martin said. She described the laser as about 6 inches long and weighing 2 pounds. The manufacturer claims the laser could light a match if held on target long enough, Martin said. The product packaging also says to use safety glasses and not to point it at faces. “Luckily, it was at a bit of distance,” she said. “Something close up would have been more damaging.” The man reportedly told a trooper “it was a new toy and he was just shining it into the water,” and it must have reflected onto the vessel, Martin said. That statement doesn’t mesh with what was reported by the crewmen, she said. Ferries system spokesman Ian Sterling on Wednesday said lasers can cause serious damage. “People should know there are serious ramifications for this,” he said. “You could hurt someone and you could face criminal charges.” Rikki King: 425-339-3449; rking@heraldnet.com.
