To correct the south boundary of the Colorado River Indian Reservation in Arizona, and for other purposes.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE, FINDINGS, PURPOSES.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Colorado River 
Indian Reservation Boundary Correction Act''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) The Act of March 3, 1865, created the Colorado River Indian 
    Reservation (hereinafter ``Reservation'') along the Colorado River 
    in Arizona and California for the ``Indians of said river and its 
    tributaries''.
        (2) In 1873 and 1874, President Grant issued Executive Orders 
    to expand the Reservation southward and to secure its southern 
    boundary at a clearly recognizable geographic location in order to 
    forestall non-Indian encroachment and conflicts with the Indians of 
    the Reservation.
        (3) In 1875, Mr. Chandler Robbins surveyed the Reservation 
    (hereinafter ``the Robbins Survey'') and delineated its new 
    southern boundary, which included approximately 16,000 additional 
    acres (hereinafter ``the La Paz lands''), as part of the 
    Reservation.
        (4) On May 15, 1876, President Grant issued an Executive Order 
    that established the Reservation's boundaries as those delineated 
    by the Robbins Survey.
        (5) In 1907, as a result of increasingly frequent trespasses by 
    miners and cattle and at the request of the Bureau of Indian 
    Affairs, the General Land Office of the United States provided for 
    a resurvey of the southern and southeastern areas of the 
    Reservation.
        (6) In 1914, the General Land Office accepted and approved a 
    resurvey of the Reservation conducted by Mr. Guy Harrington in 1912 
    (hereinafter the ``Harrington Resurvey'') which confirmed the 
    boundaries that were delineated by the Robbins Survey and 
    established by Executive Order in 1876.
        (7) On November 19, 1915, the Secretary of the Interior 
    reversed the decision of the General Land Office to accept the 
    Harrington Resurvey, and upon his recommendation on November 22, 
    1915, President Wilson issued Executive Order No. 2273 ``. . . to 
    correct the error in location said southern boundary line . . .''--
    and thus effectively excluded the La Paz lands from the 
    Reservation.
        (8) Historical evidence compiled by the Department of the 
    Interior supports the conclusion that the reason given by the 
    Secretary in recommending that the President issue the 1915 
    Executive Order--``to correct an error in locating the southern 
    boundary''--was itself in error and that the La Paz lands should 
    not have been excluded from the Reservation.
        (9) The La Paz lands continue to hold cultural and historical 
    significance, as well as economic development potential, for the 
    Colorado River Indian tribes, who have consistently sought to have 
    such lands restored to their Reservation.
    (c) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are:
        (1) To correct the south boundary of the Reservation by 
    reestablishing such boundary as it was delineated by the Robbins 
    Survey and affirmed by the Harrington Resurvey.
        (2) To restore the La Paz lands to the Reservation, subject to 
    valid existing rights under Federal law and to provide for 
    continued reasonable public access for recreational purposes.
        (3) To provide for the Secretary of the Interior to review and 
    ensure that the corrected Reservation boundary is resurveyed and 
    marked in conformance with the public system of surveys extended 
    over such lands.
