FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Notice Filed with Senate Committee on Indian Affairs Regarding H.R. 2302 and H.R. 2735
Placerville, California — Representatives associated with the historic 1935 Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) governing body connected to the Shingle Springs Rancheria have formally submitted notice to the United States Senate Committee on Indian Affairs regarding H.R. 2302 and H.R. 2735.
 
The notice informs the Committee of ongoing concerns related to federal administrative records, lineage identification, and statutory compliance under the Indian Reorganization Act and the Snyder Act. The filing requests oversight attention to ensure that pending or related federal actions are reviewed in light of documented IRA-era governance records and treaty history associated with El Dorado County.
 
According to the notice, the Plaintiffs and Real Parties in Interest have emphasized the importance of legislative awareness when federal statutes affecting tribal governance, land status, and recognition are considered.
 
“Congress has a trust responsibility in matters affecting tribal governance and federal Indian law,” a representative associated with the filing stated. “When legislation touches on communities whose historical records and federal administrative classifications are under active review, transparency and oversight are essential.”
 
The notice informs the committe on their error in processing the land into trust pending before them and ensures that members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs are informed of:
 
  • The pending Administrative Procedure Act litigation in the Eastern District of California;
  • Historical IRA-era governance documentation tied to the 1935 Shingle Springs electorate;
  • Questions regarding reconciliation of federal records and statutory duties.
     
The filing underscores that congressional oversight plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of federal Indian policy and ensuring that legislative and administrative actions are grounded in documented historical continuity.
 
The matter remains under active judicial review in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.
