The purpose of the Respect Tribal IDs Act of 2026 is to ensure that officers and employees of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) receive proper training regarding interactions with members of Indian tribes. This training aims to improve the understanding and handling of Native American tribal documents, which can serve as proof of U.S. citizenship. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a training curriculum within 180 days of the law's enactment.
