leasing and rights-of-way; and sacred 

sites and treaty rights. As a starting 

point to facilitate discussion, the 

Department poses the questions stated 

below and organized by topic. The 

Department also welcomes additional 

comments and suggestions from Tribes 

beyond the questions listed. 

A. Land-Into-Trust Process 

1. Does the Department’s land-intotrust process adequately allow Tribes to 

consolidate landholdings in or near 

existing reservations? 

2. Does the Department’s land-intotrust process adequately allow Tribes to 

establish homelands for landless Tribes? 

3. How can the Department improve 

its land-into-trust process to facilitate 

protection of sacred sites, conservation, 

and the exercise of civil and criminal 

jurisdiction? 

4. For Tribes in Alaska, how should 

the Department approach the land-intotrust process to adequately account for 

factors that are unique to Alaska? 

B. Leasing and Rights-of-Way 

5. Are the Department’s existing 

regulations governing agricultural 

leasing on Indian lands adequate to 

protect the interests of Tribes and 

Indian landowners? 

6. Are any changes needed to the 

Department’s leasing and rights-of-way 

procedures to clarify taxing jurisdiction 

in Indian country and to promote 

economic development in Indian 

country? 

C. Sacred Sites and Treaty Rights 

7. What steps can the Department take 

to ensure that Tribes have the ability to 

protect their sacred places and access 

those sites to exercise religious rights? 

8. What steps can the Department take 

to protect the exercise of off-reservation 

treaty rights, including habitat for treaty 

resources? 

9. What actions can the Department 

take in relation to other agencies to 

ensure the protection of sacred sites and 

treaty rights? 

D. Overall 

10. What is the most pressing need for 

protection and restoration of Tribal 

homelands that the Assistant 

Secretary—Indian Affairs can help 

address?
