They may also question the wisdom of repealing a longstanding prohibition on alcohol manufacturing on Indian lands. Overall, Bill 115 hr 5317 represents a significant policy change that could have far-reaching implications for Native American tribes and their ability to engage in alcohol manufacturing activities on their own lands.
