Helping Our People Act of 2026

This bill changes the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989. It would allow the Puyallup Tribe to withdraw money from its settlement trust fund under the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994, using a management plan approved by the Secretary. It also adds a section stating that nothing in the 1989 Act prevents the United States from working with the Tribe on the same basis as other federally recognized tribes under federal laws passed after that Act.
