Today, we’re focused entirely on our Native American legislative work. If you want more updates on Native concerns, the Native American Legislative Update is a monthly newsletter which explores FCNL’s Native American policy advocacy and ways for you to engage your members of Congress. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Christian churches collaborated with the government to create hundreds of these boarding schools. One of these bills, the BADGES for Native Communities Act (S.465), led by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) would streamline bureaucratic hiring processes and empower tribal police in Native communities. In line with our commitment to “Seek an Earth Restored” and in solidarity with Native American communities, FCNL advocates for the protection of indigenous sacred sites.
