Tim Kaine actually said...

I am proud of Virginia's recognized Indian Tribes and their contributions to our Commonwealth.

Congress has the power to recognize Native American Tribes. And it has exercised this power in the past.

The bill seeks to rectify this injustice by recognizing these tribes, six tribes that were situated in Eastern Virginia in 1607 and before.

It is my hope that this Committee will move quickly to approve S. 1074.
