near the town of Bridgeport, in Mono County, Cali-
fornia. 
(2) The Tribe’s reservation is approximately 40 
acres, and was established by Federal law in 1974. 
(3) The reservation lands are insufficient for 
the Tribe’s housing and community development 
needs. 
(4) The Tribe’s reservation is located approxi-
mately 0.24 miles from Highway 182. 
(5) Between the Tribe’s reservation and High-
way 182 is an undeveloped piece of Federal land, of 
which a 31.86 acre parcel would be suitable to be 
added to the reservation and held in trust by the 
United States for the benefit of the Tribe. 
(6) The expansion of the reservation will facili-
tate a much-needed expansion of the Tribe’s ability 
to provide housing for its membership, a community 
activity center, and tribal economic development. 
(7) Many tribal members have expressed inter-
est in moving back to the reservation if housing and 
job opportunities can be made available. 
(8) A large portion of the nongovernmental 
labor force and business in Mono County is seasonal 
in nature, and unemployment in Mono County is ap-
proximately 10 percent.

(9) Transfer of this parcel, to be held in trust 
for the Tribe, will expedite the creation of job oppor-
tunities in this rural community for both tribal 
members and the non-Indian community. 
(10) In addition to the need for expansion of 
the reservation, the Tribe has significant health 
needs that could be facilitated by a separate Federal 
parcel being held in trust by the United States for 
the benefit of the Tribe. 
(11) The Tribe is a member of the Toiyabe In-
dian Health Project, a nonprofit consortium of area 
Indian tribes which provides the Indian and non-In-
dian residents of the area with health care services, 
partially funded by the Indian Health Service. 
(12) The Toiyabe Indian Health Project oper-
ates other facilities in Bishop and Lone Pine, Cali-
fornia. 
(13) In the 1980s, the Tribe applied for and re-
ceived a Community Development Block Grant from 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
in order to build a healthcare facility in Mono Coun-
ty. 
(14) With Toiyabe Indian Health Project di-
recting the project, the Camp Antelope Health Clinic 
was built on a 7.16 acre parcel of Federal land one

mile north of Walker, California, approximately 30 
miles from the Tribe’s reservation. 
(15) The Toiyabe Indian Health Project closed 
the Camp Antelope Health Clinic in 2006. 
(16) The Tribe and the Toiyabe Indian Health 
Project have agreed that the health clinic needs to 
be reopened. 
(17) Tribal members have to drive 90 miles to 
Bishop to obtain Indian healthcare services. 
(18) Taking the additional land into trust will 
assist the Tribe and the Toiyabe Indian Health 
Project in providing healthcare services to Indians 
and non-Indians in the area. 
(19) The investment of Federal funds in the de-
velopment of the health clinic adds to the impor-
tance of maintaining the parcel under Federal own-
ership. 
(20) On October 20, 2009, the Mono County 
Board of Supervisors voted to support the transfer 
of land into trust under this Act. 
(21) On April 20, 2010, the Mono County 
Board of Supervisors agreed unanimously to enter 
into a Memorandum of Understanding with the 
Tribe, thus supporting the Tribe’s efforts to have 
these parcels of land transferred into trust.
