Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa 
Indians Restoration Act of 2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians is a 
        political successor to signatories of the Pembina Treaty of 
        1863, under which a large area of land in the State of North 
        Dakota was ceded to the United States;
            (2) the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa of North Dakota 
        and the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation of 
        Montana, which also are political successors to the signatories 
        of the Pembina Treaty of 1863, have been recognized by the 
        Federal Government as distinct Indian tribes;
            (3) the members of the Little Shell Tribe continue to live 
        in the State of Montana, as their ancestors have for more than 
        100 years since ceding land in the State of North Dakota as 
        described in paragraph (1);
            (4) in the 1930s and 1940s, the Tribe repeatedly petitioned 
        the Federal Government for reorganization under the Act of June 
        18, 1934 (25 U.S.C. 461 et seq.) (commonly known as the 
        ``Indian Reorganization Act'');
            (5) Federal agents who visited the Tribe and Commissioner 
        of Indian Affairs John Collier attested to the responsibility 
        of the Federal Government for the Tribe and members of the 
        Tribe, concluding that members of the Tribe are eligible for, 
        and should be provided with, trust land, making the Tribe 
        eligible for reorganization under the Act of June 18, 1934 (25 
        U.S.C. 461 et seq.) (commonly known as the ``Indian 
        Reorganization Act'');
            (6) due to a lack of Federal appropriations during the 
        Depression, the Bureau of Indian Affairs lacked adequate 
        financial resources to purchase land for the Tribe, and the 
        members of the Tribe were denied the opportunity to reorganize;
            (7) in spite of the failure of the Federal Government to 
        appropriate adequate funding to secure land for the Tribe as 
        required for reorganization under the Act of June 18, 1934 (25 
        U.S.C. 461 et seq.) (commonly known as the ``Indian 
        Reorganization Act''), the Tribe continued to exist as a 
        separate community, with leaders exhibiting clear political 
        authority;
            (8) the Tribe, together with the Turtle Mountain Band of 
        Chippewa of North Dakota and the Chippewa-Cree Tribe of the 
        Rocky Boy's Reservation of Montana, filed 2 law suits under the 
        Act of August 13, 1946 (60 Stat. 1049) (commonly known as the 
        ``Indian Claims Commission Act''), to petition for additional 
        compensation for land ceded to the United States under the 
        Pembina Treaty of 1863 and the McCumber Agreement of 1892;
            (9) in 1971 and 1982, pursuant to Acts of Congress, the 
        tribes received awards for the claims described in paragraph 
        (8);
            (10) in 1978, the Tribe submitted to the Bureau of Indian 
        Affairs a petition for Federal recognition, which is still 
        pending as of the date of enactment of this Act; and
            (11) the Federal Government, the State of Montana, and the 
        other federally recognized Indian tribes of the State have had 
        continuous dealings with the recognized political leaders of 
        the Tribe since the 1930s.

        making criminal investigations more inclusive and effective;
            (3) the sharing of information between and among Federal, 
        State, and local law enforcement agencies allows these agencies 
        to find missing, neglected, abused, or abducted children, as

            (2) to reimburse police department officials or members 
        who, acting on behalf of their rural police departments and

        information-sharing purposes; and

    (a) In General.--In awarding a grant under this Act, the Attorney

            (1) set criteria for determining which police departments 
        are currently underserved by crime-fighting, investigatory, or 
        information-sharing technologies available on the Internet, by 
        differentiating between police departments that do not have 
        Internet access, and those departments that have access but are 
        using outmoded, obsolete, or otherwise inadequate technology; 
        and
            (2) determine what would constitute the minimum feasible

Question: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

            (1) it is the policy of the United States, in fulfillment 
        of its trust responsibility to Indian tribes, to promote Indian 
        self-determination and economic self-sufficiency;
            (2) the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community 
        (hereinafter referred to as the ``Community'') has operated the 
        irrigation works within the Community's reservation since 
        November 1997 and is capable of fully managing the operation of 
        these irrigation works;
            (3) considering that the irrigation works, which are 
        comprised primarily of canals, ditches, irrigation wells, 
        storage reservoirs, and sump ponds located exclusively on lands 
        held in trust for the Community and allottees, have been 
        operated generally the same for over 100 years, the irrigation 
        works will continue to be used for the distribution and 
        delivery of water;
            (4) considering that the operational management of the 
        irrigation works has been carried out by the Community as 
        indicated in paragraph (2), the conveyance of ownership of such 
        works to the Community is viewed as an administrative action;
            (5) the Community's laws and regulations are in compliance 
        with section 2(b); and
            (6) in light of the foregoing and in order to--

                self-sufficiency, and self-governance;
                    (B) enable the Community in its development of a 
                diverse, efficient reservation economy; and
                    (C) enable the Community to better serve the water 
                needs of the water users within the Community,

practicable after the date of the enactment of this Act, and in

        distribution, allocation, control, pricing and regulation of

        water so as to achieve the maximum beneficial use and 
        conservation of water in recognition of the demand on the water 
        resource, the changing uses of land and water and the varying 
        annual quantity of available Community water.
            (2) Due process.--A due process system for the 
        consideration and determination of any request by an Indian or

        or disputed distributions and for resolution of contested 
        administrative decisions.
    (c) Subsequent Modification of Laws and Regulations.--If the 
provisions of the Community's laws and regulations implementing 
subsection (b) only are to be modified subsequent to the date of the 
enactment of this Act by the Community, such proposed modifications 
shall be published and made available to the Secretary at least 120 
days prior to their effective date and any modification that could 
significantly adversely affect the rights of allottees shall only 
become effective upon the concurrence of both the Community and the 
Secretary.
    (d) Limitations of Liability.--Effective upon the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the United States shall not be liable for 
damages of any kind arising out of any act, omission, or occurrence 
based on the Community's ownership or operation of the irrigation 
works, except for damages caused by acts of negligence committed by the 
United States prior to the date of the enactment of this Act. Nothing 
in this section shall be deemed to increase the liability of the United 
States beyond that currently provided in the Federal Tort Claims Act 
(28 U.S.C. 2671 et seq.).

of the irrigation works under this section, any charges for

Community that have been deferred pursuant to the Act of July 1, 1932 
(25 U.S.C. 386a) are hereby canceled.
    (f) Project No Longer a BIA Project.--Effective upon the date of 
conveyance of the irrigation works under this section, the irrigation 
works shall no longer be considered a Bureau of Indian Affairs 
irrigation project and the facilities will not be eligible for Federal 
benefits based solely on the fact that the irrigation works were 
formerly a Bureau of Indian Affairs irrigation project. Nothing in this 
Act shall be construed to limit or reduce in any way the service, 
contracts, or funds the Community may be eligible to receive under 
other applicable Federal law.

SEC. 3. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER LAWS.

responsibility of the United States under applicable law to the Salt
