Indian tribes deserve the same economic opportunities as non-tribal citizens.
It's time to repeal the prohibition of distilling on tribal lands, and that's exactly what @HerreraBeutler's bill will do. @RSIhttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/opinion/native-american-whiskey.html …

It was my understanding that tribal land was sovereign territory. How do federal laws apply?
The distilling prohibition originates from an 1834 law, during the Andrew Jackson Administration that regulated trade on Indian lands. On May 8th we passed @HerreraBeutler's bill ending this prohibition out of our Committee. https://naturalresources.house.gov/newsroom/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=404649 …

Thank you. I read the Times piece but am still confused about sovereignty vs subject to US law?
