CA SJR13

Urges United States Congress and the Department of the Interior to reaffirm and restore the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe as a federally recognized Indian tribe and include them in the Federal Register.

Recognizes that the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe was wrongly removed from the Federal Register in 1927 despite maintaining a federal "trust" relationship from 1906 to 1927 with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Notes the tribe is indigenous to the San Francisco Bay Area with over 600 identified descendants, has retained its culture for 230 years, and represents approximately 13,000 years of documented human history.

Acknowledges federal court decisions recognizing the tribe's historical existence and that federal recognition was never formally withdrawn, only administratively lost.

Directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies of the resolution to the President, Vice President, Secretary of the Interior, Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, and all California members of Congress.
