SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Miccosukee Reserved
Area Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Since 1964, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indi-
ans of Florida have lived and governed their own af-
fairs on a strip of land on the northern edge of the
Everglades National Park pursuant to permits from
the National Park Service and other legal authority.
The current permit expires in 2014.
(2) Since the commencement of the Tribe’s per-
mitted use and occupancy of the Special Use Permit
Area, the Tribe’s membership has grown, as have
the needs and desires of the Tribe and its members
for modern housing, governmental and administra-
tive facilities, schools and cultural amenities, and re-
lated structures.
(3) The United States, the State of Florida, the
Miccosukee Tribe, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida
are participating in a major intergovernmental effort
to restore the South Florida ecosystem, including
the restoration of the environment of the Park.
(4) The Special Use Permit Area is located
within the northern boundary of the Park, which is
critical to the protection and restoration of the Ever-
glades, as well as to the cultural values of the
Miccosukee Tribe.
(5) The interests of both the Miccosukee Tribe
and the United States would be enhanced by a fur-
ther delineation of the rights and obligations of each
with respect to the Special Use Permit Area and to
the Park as a whole.
(6) The amount and location of land allocated
to the Tribe fulfills the purposes of the Park.
(7) The use of the Miccosukee Reserved Area
by the Miccosukee Tribe does not constitute an
abandonment of the Park.
SEC. 3. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are as follows:
(1) To replace the special use permit with a
legal framework under which the Tribe can live per-
manently and govern the Tribe’s own affairs in a
modern community within the Park.
(2) To protect the Park outside the boundaries
of the Miccosukee Reserved Area from adverse ef-
fects of structures or activities within that area, and
to support restoration of the South Florida eco-
system, including restoring the environment of the
Park.
