question:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Northern Cheyenne Lands Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Northern Cheyenne Tribe has depended on its lands 
        and land-based resources to support its way of life since time 
        immemorial.
            (2) The Tribe has made supreme and historic sacrifices to 
        repossess and maintain its homeland, including its Reservation 
        in Montana.
            (3) The Tribe currently suffers from tremendous social and 
        economic challenges, including a lack of employment 
        opportunities on the Reservation, which can be improved by 
        strengthening its control over its land base, natural 
        resources, and trust funds.
            (4) The Tribe and its members are currently the beneficial 
        owners of over 95 percent of the surface lands on the Northern 
        Cheyenne Reservation and all but approximately 5,000 subsurface 
        acres of the Reservation.
            (5) The Tribe seeks to obtain ownership of approximately 
        5,000 subsurface acres on its Reservation it does not own 
        because of an error by the United States to secure that 
        subsurface when the Reservation was expanded in 1900.
            (6) In 2002, the Tribe agreed by settlement to dismiss its 
        lawsuit against the United States, which alleged that the 
        United States failed to protect the Reservation from the 
        impacts of coal development, in return for assistance in 
        securing tribal ownership of those subsurface rights 
        substantially in the form of this Act, and to secure mitigation 
        funding to address the impacts of coal development in areas 
        adjacent to the Reservation, among other conditions.
            (7) To increase tribal ownership of the surface lands, the 
        Tribe has purchased approximately 932 acres of land within its 
        Reservation that were taken out of trust ownership status for 
        various reasons.
            (8) The Tribe has purchased approximately 635 acres of land 
        near Bear Butte, South Dakota, which the Tribe considers sacred 
        ground for its members, as well as for members of other tribes.
            (9) The Tribe now seeks to have the aforementioned lands 
        and subsurface within the Reservation and Bear Butte lands 
        taken into trust on its behalf by the United States.
            (10) If the actions authorized by this Act are completed, 
        the Tribe will waive all legal claims against the United States 
        arising out of the longstanding loss of the subsurface rights 
        and arising out of the United States management of the Northern 
        Cheyenne Trust Fund.
