U.S. bill aims to recognize Native tribe in Mono Lake Basin


LEE VINING, Calif. 
They were expert hunters, gatherers and basket weavers who lived for thousands of years on a trade route over the Sierra Nevada range connecting them with the rest of California.
The modern history of the Mono Lake Kutzadika Paiute people is told mostly through economic hardship, displacement and a 150-year fight for federal recognition as a distinct Native American tribe a step needed to establish a sovereign land base to call home.
Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Big Bear Lake) on Saturday ventured into their lunar-like ancestral landscape of bizarre craggy formations, dormant volcanoes and jagged peaks and delivered good news during an emotional meeting with leaders of the tribe whose members have dwindled from 4,000 to 83. ....
