unique Bhutanese culture; 
Whereas Bhutan hosts some of the most pristine and bio-
logically diverse natural environments in the modern

Arizona. The Hopi Tribe is the only non-gaming In-
dian tribe in Arizona and, therefore, has no other fi-
nancial resources with which to improve the condi-
tions of its schools. 
(2) The current school facilities have numerous 
structural deficiencies that create at-risk conditions 
for occupants and neither provides an appropriate 
environment as compared to off-reservation facilities. 
(3) Both school facilities are over 125 years old 
and have been described by two different Bureau of 
Indian Affairs inspections as having exceeded their 
usefulness and functional life. 
SEC. 3. THIRD MESA, ARIZONA, NEW SCHOOL CONSTRUC-
TION. 
Not later than 3 years after funds are made available 
for this section, the Secretary of the Interior, in coordina-
tion with the Hopi Tribe, shall plan, design, and construct 
a new school at Third Mesa, Arizona, on the Hopi Indian 
Reservation, to replace the Hopi Day School and the 
Hotevilla Bacavi Community School.
