SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) by enacting the Act of December 22, 1944, commonly
known as the ''Flood Control Act of 1944'' (58 Stat. 887,
chapter 665; 33 U.S.C. 701-1 et seq.) Congress approved the
Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin program (referred to in this
section as the ''Pick-Sloan program'')--
(A) to promote the general economic development of
the United States;
(B) to provide for irrigation above Sioux City,
Iowa;
(C) to protect urban and rural areas from
devastating floods of the Missouri River; and
(D) for other purposes;
(2) the waters impounded for the Fort Randall and Gavins
Point projects of the Pick-Sloan program have inundated the
fertile, wooded bottom lands along the Missouri River that
constituted the most productive agricultural and pastoral lands
of, and the homeland of, the members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe
and the Santee Sioux Tribe;
(3) the Fort Randall project (including the Fort Randall
Dam and Reservoir)--
(A) overlies the western boundary of the Yankton
Sioux Tribe Indian Reservation; and
(B) has caused the erosion of more than 400 acres
of prime land on the Yankton Sioux Reservation
adjoining the east bank of the Missouri River;
(4) the Gavins Point project (including the Gavins Point
Dam and Reservoir) overlies the eastern boundary of the Santee
Sioux Tribe;
(5) although the Fort Randall and Gavins Point projects are
major components of the Pick-Sloan program, and contribute to
the economy of the United States by generating a substantial
amount of hydropower and impounding a substantial quantity of
water, the reservations of the Yankton Sioux Tribe and the
Santee Sioux Tribe remain undeveloped;
(6) the United States Army Corps of Engineers took the
Indian lands used for the Fort Randall and Gavins Point
projects by condemnation proceedings;
(7) the Federal Government did not give Yankton Sioux Tribe
and the Santee Sioux Tribe an opportunity to receive
compensation for direct damages from the Pick-Sloan program,
even though the Federal Government gave 5 Indian reservations
upstream from the reservations of those Indian tribes such an
opportunity;
(8) the Yankton Sioux Tribe and the Santee Sioux Tribe did
not receive just compensation for the taking of productive
agricultural Indian lands through the condemnation referred to
in paragraph (6);
(9) the settlement agreement that the United States entered
into with the Yankton Sioux Tribe and the Santee Sioux Tribe to
provide compensation for the taking by condemnation referred to
in paragraph (6) did not take into account the increase in
property values over the years between the date of taking and
the date of settlement; and
(10) in addition to the financial compensation provided
under the settlement agreements referred to in paragraph (9)--
(A) the Yankton Sioux Tribe should receive an
aggregate amount equal to $34,323,743 for--
(i) the loss value of 2,851.40 acres of
Indian land taken for the Fort Randall Dam and
Reservoir of the Pick-Sloan program; and
(ii) the use value of 408.40 acres of
Indian land on the reservation of that Indian
tribe that was lost as a result of stream bank
erosion that has occurred since 1953; and
(B) the Santee Sioux Tribe should receive an
aggregate amount equal to $8,132,838 for the loss value
of--
(i) 593.10 acres of Indian land located
near the Santee village; and
(ii) 414.12 acres on Niobrara Island of the
Santee Sioux Tribe Indian Reservation used for
the Gavins Point Dam and Reservoir.
