SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Crow Boundary Settlement Act of 
1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Under the treaty between the United States of America 
        and the Crow Tribe of Indians concluded May 7, 1868 (commonly 
        known as the ``Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868''; 15 Stat. 649), 
        the eastern boundary of the Crow Indian Reservation was 
        established as the 107th meridian for approximately 90 miles 
        from the Yellowstone River to the boundary between Montana and 
        Wyoming.
            (2) Under Executive orders issued in 1884 and 1900, the 
        western boundary of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation was 
        established as the 107th meridian. The 107th meridian was 
        intended to be the common boundary between the Crow Reservation 
        and Northern Cheyenne Reservation for approximately 25 miles.
            (3) From 1889 through 1891, a survey was conducted of the 
        eastern boundary of the Crow Reservation. The 1891 survey line 
        strayed to the west, and resulted in the exclusion from the 
        Crow Indian Reservation of a strip of land of approximately 
        36,164 acres. Approximately 12,964 acres of such strip of land 
        were included in the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Deposits of 
        low sulphur coal underlie the land excluded from the Crow 
        Indian Reservation, including the land included in the Northern 
        Cheyenne Indian Reservation.
            (4)(A) The erroneous nature of the survey was not 
        discovered for several decades. Meanwhile, the areas along the 
        107th meridian to the north and south of the Northern Cheyenne 
        Indian Reservation were opened to settlement in the late 
        nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century. 
        Patents were issued to non-Indian persons and to the State of 
        Montana for most of the surface land and a significant portion 
        of the minerals in these areas between the 107th meridian and 
        the 1891 survey line.
            (B) The 12,964 acres included in the Northern Cheyenne 
        Reservation have been treated as part of the Northern Cheyenne 
        Reservation and occupied by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and the 
        Northern Cheyenne allottees, and their successors in interest.
            (5) Legislation to resolve the 107th meridian boundary 
        dispute was introduced in Congress in the 1960's and 1970's, 
        and again in 1992, but no such legislation was enacted into 
        law.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to settle the 107th 
meridian boundary dispute created by the erroneous survey of the 
eastern boundary of the Crow Indian Reservation made by the Federal 
Government described in subsection (a)(3).
