H.R.8742

Respect Tribal IDs Act

Introduced·5/12/26

Respect Tribal IDs Act requires DHS officers to receive training on tribal documents and protocols.

The Respect Tribal IDs Act mandates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and implement training for its officers and employees. This training focuses on recognizing Native American tribal documents as proof of U.S. citizenship, understanding tribal protocols, and the U.S. government's trust responsibility. The training must be completed annually and whenever officers are assigned to a new region. The curricula will include tribal contact information, scenario-based exercises, and a database of tribal document examples.
