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.
