Under legislation signed into law by President Joe Biden on July 12, the federal government must return about 1,600 acres of land that was “illegally” acquired in the 1970s to the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
The legislation—the bipartisan Winnebago Land Transfer Act—was introduced by Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) and cosponsored by Sens. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa).
