Tribal Land Protection Act

The Tribal Land Protection Act is a U.S. law aimed at safeguarding tribal lands from being taken or developed without consent. It recognizes the unique relationship between Native American tribes and their territories, ensuring that any changes to land use or ownership are respectful of tribal sovereignty. By establishing a legal framework for protecting these lands, the Act helps preserve tribal culture, heritage, and economic stability, while empowering tribes to make decisions about their land without interference from outside entities.
