![["The document discusses proposed amendments to H.R. 7421, focusing on the removal of certain provisions that are deemed unnecessary or premature. The first proposed amendment seeks to strike a proviso that delays Federal services to the Menominee Tribe, while the second and third amendments aim to establish time limitations for appeals and elections. Additionally, there is a proposal to remove a paragraph that grants unlimited Federal funds to the Menominee Tribe, which is seen as premature and should be considered in a general bill applicable to all tribes."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Menominee%20Tribe%20Bills%20(H.R.%207421,%20H.R.%209078),%20Background,%20Analysis,%20Amendments,%20Summary%20of%20Hearings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0002_thumbnail.jpg "\"Proposed Amendments to H.R. 7421: Ensuring Immediate Services and Equity for the Menominee Tribe\"")

This would potentially restore economic and social viability to the tribe and allow for the recreation of tribal government and local control of affairs, reversing the trend of decline they are currently facing."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Menominee%20Tribe%20Bills%20(H.R.%207421,%20H.R.%209078),%20Background,%20Analysis,%20Amendments,%20Summary%20of%20Hearings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0003_thumbnail.jpg "\"Understanding H.R. 7421: A Historical Review and Potential Resolution for the Menominee Tribe\"")

The Act also allows for the conduct of elections among tribe members on tribal constitution and bylaws, with certain provisions for adoption and election of a governing body. The Act provides for the negotiation of tribal assumption of corporation assets and exempts transferred assets from taxation.

Testimony was taken from Menominee tribe members, state and local officials, Administration witnesses, and concerned non-Indian land owners. The Administration supported restoration due to the bleak future of the Menominee without it. State and local officials also supported the bill, with concerns about protecting non-Indian land owners' rights. Menominee witnesses supported restoration citing federal coercion, poverty, cultural problems, and economic burdens. The general public also supported restoration, believing it would repudiate past policies and support Indian self-determination. Non-Indian land owners expressed concerns about taxation, political power, and potential impacts of the legislation on their rights."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Menominee%20Tribe%20Bills%20(H.R.%207421,%20H.R.%209078),%20Background,%20Analysis,%20Amendments,%20Summary%20of%20Hearings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0013_thumbnail.jpg "\"Overview of Hearings and Testimonies on the Menominee Restoration Act (H.R. 7421)\"")
