Texas AG says 1977 bill recognizing Kickapoos unconstitutional
AUSTIN AP Attorney General Mark White ruled that a 1977 Legislature effort to recognize the Kickapoo Indians of Texas and aid non reservation tribes is unconstitutional. The opinion, requested by Lt Gov Bill Hobby, concerned a Senate bill designating Kickapoos as a Texas Indian tribe and directing the Texas Indian Commission to assist them alongside Alabama Coushatta and Tigua tribes.
