ASSOCIATED PRESS Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has a plan for everything. Her latest is a sweeping proposal that would empower tribal nations on virtually all policy fronts.

WASHINGTON ― Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Friday unveiled a comprehensive list of policy ideas for empowering tribal nations and indigenous peoples, including a bold plan to expand tribal criminal jurisdiction to apply to all people committing any crimes on tribal land.

In a Medium post published Friday morning, the Massachusetts senator laid out detailed proposals for addressing disparities that indigenous communities face in virtually all aspects of life compared to the overall U.S. population ― in economic development, housing, health care, education, criminal justice and voting rights.

Warren says she would revoke the “ill-advised and improperly granted permits” for the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and would reject permits for new projects where tribal sovereignty is not honored. She calls for passage of a new Sacred Lands Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which would dramatically improve the ability of tribes to block the imposition of development and land-use decisions with respect to tribal lands and sacred sites.

Warren also revealed she’s been working with Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), one of two Native women in Congress, on a far-reaching spending bill aimed at “directly and immediately” addressing critical unmet needs in Indian Country, as identified in a December 2018 report by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Before they introduce the final bill, they are seeking public input from tribal governments, citizens and other stakeholders.

“Native American communities have endured a long history of oppression and broken promises ― from blankets laced in disease to times when my grandparents and others in their communities were taken away from their families and put into boarding schools ― the federal government has failed to live up to its responsibility to Native Nations to provide support for basic necessities in exchange for land and mass extermination of Native people,” Haaland said in a statement. “This legislative proposal is the vehicle to further the conversation about what Indian Country needs for these promises to be adequately fulfilled, and to empower tribal governments to serve their people.”
