SECTION 1. SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS OF THE WYANDOTTE NATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Wyandotte Nation has a valid interest in certain 
        lands located in the Fairfax Business District in Wyandotte 
        County, Kansas, that are located within the Nation's 
        reservation established pursuant to an agreement between the 
        Wyandotte Nation and the Delaware Nation dated December 14, 
        1843, which agreement was ratified by the Senate on July 25, 
        1848.
            (2) The Wyandotte Nation filed a lawsuit, Wyandotte Nation 
        v. Unified Government of Kansas City and Wyandotte County, 
        Kansas, U.S. D.C. Kan., Case No. 012303-CM, against certain 
        landowners within the Fairfax Business District to ascertain 
        and adjudicate ownership of lands that were once owned and held 
        in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Wyandotte 
        Nation but were not conveyed to the United States by the 
        Wyandotte Nation pursuant to the Treaty of January 31, 1855.
            (3) The Lawsuit also contends that certain major roads in 
        Kansas City encroach upon a certain parcel of land, known as 
        the Huron Cemetery, which was reserved for the Wyandotte Nation 
        in the Treaty of January 31, 1855.
            (4) The pendency of this Lawsuit has resulted in severe 
        economic hardships for the residents of the Fairfax Business 
        District of Wyandotte County, Kansas, by clouding title to much 
        of the land within that District.
            (5) Congress shares with the residents of the Fairfax 
        Business District of Wyandotte County, Kansas, a desire to 
        remove all clouds on title resulting from the Lawsuit without 
        additional cost or expense to either the United States, the 
        State of Kansas, the Unified Government of Kansas City and 
        Wyandotte County, Kansas, and all other landowners within the 
        Fairfax Business District of Wyandotte County, Kansas.
            (6) The Wyandotte Nation and the Unified Government of 
        Kansas City and Wyandotte County have reached an agreement 
        settling the Lawsuit which requires implementing legislation by 
        Congress.
