The Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs has approved the Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut's residential leasing ordinance under the HEARTH Act. This approval allows the Tribe to make residential leases without needing further approval from the Secretary of the Interior. Under the HEARTH Act, Tribes can create their own leasing regulations and enter into various types of leases on Tribal land, while avoiding State and local taxes on these leases. The federal government still oversees the compliance of these leasing regulations and maintains certain authorities over them.
Simple Explanation
The government has said it's okay for a Native American group in Connecticut called the Mohegan Tribe to make their own rules for renting out houses on their land, and now they don't need to ask for extra permission each time.
