SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) to fulfill the trust responsibility of the United 
        States to Indian tribes and to promote tribal sovereignty and 
        economic self-sufficiency, it is the policy of the United 
        States to settle water rights claims of Indian tribes without 
        lengthy and costly litigation;
            (2) the Fort Belknap Reservation was established in the 
        State of Montana as a homeland for the Gros Ventre and 
        Assiniboine Tribes;
            (3) an adequate water supply for the Fort Belknap Indian 
        Community is important to a permanent, sustainable, and 
        sovereign homeland for the Gros Ventre and Assiniboine Tribes 
        and the members of those Indian tribes;
            (4) the sovereignty of the Fort Belknap Indian Community 
        and the economy of the Reservation depend on the development of 
        the water and other resources of the Reservation;
            (5) the planning, design, and construction of the 
        facilities needed to use Reservation water supplies and other 
        resources effectively are necessary for--
                    (A) the development of a viable Reservation 
                economy; and
                    (B) the implementation of the water rights compact 
                between the Fort Belknap Indian Community and the State 
                of Montana;
            (6) recognizing that a final resolution of the 
        adjudications of the Fort Belknap Indian Community water rights 
        pending in Federal and State courts will require many years and 
        great expense to all parties of the adjudications, prolong 
        uncertainty regarding the availability of water supplies, and 
        seriously impair the long-term economic planning and 
        development of the parties, the Fort Belknap Indian Community 
        and the State entered into the Fort Belknap-Montana Water 
        Rights Compact on April 16, 2001;
            (7) the allocation of water resources from Lake Elwell to 
        the Fort Belknap Indian Community under this Act is uniquely 
        suited to the geographical, social, and economic 
        characteristics of the area and situation;
            (8) changes in the administration of the Milk River Project 
        are necessary to satisfy the water rights of the Fort Belknap 
        Indian Community;
            (9) the Fort Belknap Indian Community has held sacred 
        certain land within and adjacent to the present boundaries of 
        the Fort Belknap Reservation that is now held in State, public, 
        and fee ownership status;
            (10) the land described in paragraph (9) is within the 
        ancestral territory of the Fort Belknap Indian Community and 
        has historical, cultural, and spiritual significance for the 
        Fort Belknap Indian Community; and
            (11) the exchange, acquisition, and transfer to trust 
        status of the Federal and State land described in paragraph (9) 
        for the benefit of the Fort Belknap Indian Community will--
                    (A) enable the Fort Belknap Indian Community to 
                consolidate and restore the trust land ownership of the 
                Reservation; and
                    (B) restore the sacred, political, and legal bond 
                the Fort Belknap Indian Community has maintained to 
                that land since time immemorial.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to achieve a fair, equitable, and final settlement of

                Belknap Indian Community, the members of the Fort 
                Belknap Indian Community, and allottees of the Fort 
                Belknap Indian Community;
            (2) to authorize, approve, and confirm the Fort Belknap 
        Indian Community-Montana Water Rights Compact entered into by 
        the Fort Belknap Indian Community and the State of Montana on 
        April 16, 2001;

                U.S.C. 407); and
                    (C) to take any other action the Secretary

            (4) to authorize certain economic development initiatives

                addressed in a manner that promotes self-sufficiency 
                and sovereignty;
