SEC. 1202. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION
OF PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Recognizing the special relationship
between the United States and the Navajo Nation and its
members, and the Federal responsibility to the Navajo
people, Congress finds that—
(1) the third clause of section 8, Article I of the
United States Constitution provides that ‘‘The Con-
gress 
shall 
have 
Power . . to 
regulate
Commerce . . with Indian tribes’’, and, through
this and other constitutional authority, Congress has
plenary power over Indian affairs;
(2) Congress, through statutes, treaties, and
the general course of dealing with Indian tribes, has
assumed the responsibility for the protection and
preservation of Indian tribes and their resources;
(3) the United States has a trust obligation to
guard and preserve the sovereignty of Indian tribes
in order to foster strong tribal governments, Indian
self-determination, and economic self-sufficiency;
(4) pursuant to the first section of the Act of
August 9, 1955 (25 U.S.C. 415), Congress conferred
upon the Secretary of the Interior the power to pro-
mulgate regulations governing tribal leases and to
approve tribal leases for tribes according to regula-
tions promulgated by the Secretary;
170
(5) the Secretary has promulgated the regula-
tions described in paragraph (4) at part 162 of title
25, Code of Federal Regulations;
(6) the requirement that the Secretary approve
leases for the development of Navajo trust lands has
added a level of review and regulation that does not
apply to the development of non-Indian land; and
(7) in the global economy of the 21st century,
it is crucial that individual leases of Navajo trust
lands not be subject to Secretarial approval and that
the Navajo Nation be able to make immediate deci-
sions over the use of Navajo trust lands.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this title are as fol-
lows:
(1) To establish a streamlined process for the
Navajo Nation to lease trust lands without having to
obtain the approval of the Secretary of the Interior
of individual leases, except leases for exploration, de-
velopment, or extraction of any mineral resources.
(2) To authorize the Navajo Nation, pursuant
to tribal regulations, which must be approved by the
Secretary, to lease Navajo trust lands without the
approval of the Secretary of the Interior of the indi-
vidual leases, except leases for exploration, develop-
ment, or extraction of any mineral resources.
171
(3) To revitalize the distressed Navajo Reserva-
tion by promoting political self-determination, and
encouraging economic self-sufficiency, including eco-
nomic development that increases productivity and
the standard of living for members of the Navajo
Nation.
(4) To maintain, strengthen, and protect the
Navajo Nation’s leasing power over Navajo trust
lands.
(c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section:
(1) INDIAN TRIBE.—The term ‘‘Indian tribe’’
has the meaning given such term in section 4(e) of
the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assist-
ance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b(e)).
(2) NAVAJO NATION.—The term ‘‘Navajo Na-
tion’’ means the Navajo Nation government that is
in existence on the date of enactment of this Act.
(3) TRIBAL REGULATIONS.—The term ‘‘tribal
regulations’’ means the Navajo Nation regulations
as enacted by the Navajo Nation Council or its
standing committees and approved by the Secretary.

NATION.

authorized under subsection (a), except a lease for the ex-
ploration, development, or extraction of any mineral re-
sources, shall not require the approval of the Secretary
if the term of the lease does not exceed 75 years (including
173
options to renew), and the lease is executed under tribal
regulations that are approved by the Secretary under this
subsection.
‘‘(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to individually
owned Navajo Indian allotted land located within the Nav-
ajo Nation.
‘‘(3) The Secretary shall have the authority to ap-
prove or disapprove tribal regulations required under
paragraph (1). The Secretary shall not have approval au-
thority over individual leases of Navajo trust lands, except
for the exploration, development, or extraction of any min-
eral resources. The Secretary shall perform the duties of
the Secretary under this subsection in the best interest
of the Navajo Nation.
‘‘(4) If the Navajo Nation has executed a lease pursu-
ant to tribal regulations required under paragraph (1), the
United states shall not be liable for losses sustained by
any party to such lease, including the Navajo Nation, ex-
cept that—
‘‘(A) the Secretary shall continue to have a
trust obligation to ensure that the rights of the Nav-
ajo Nation are protected in the event of a violation
of the terms of any lease by any other party to such
lease, including the right to cancel the lease if re-
quested by the Navajo Nation; and
174
‘‘(B) nothing in this subsection shall be con-
strued to absolve the United States from any re-
sponsibility to the Navajo Nation, including respon-
sibilities that derive from the trust relationship and
from any treaties, Executive orders, or agreements
between the United States and the Navajo Nation,
except as otherwise specifically provided in this sub-
section.’’.
