The Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians Restoration Act of 2025 aims to officially recognize the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians in Michigan as a federally recognized tribe. This legislation seeks to clarify the tribe's federal status and ensure they receive the same benefits and services as other federally recognized tribes. Key provisions of the Act include the affirmation of the tribe's federal recognition, which allows them to access federal services and benefits without needing to reside on a reservation.
