Requires the study to analyze:

  • the attributes of that relationship;
  • the policies, practices, structure, and effectiveness of the federal agencies that have trust responsibilities toward Indian tribes;
  • the feasibility of authorizing willing Indian tribes to assume duties currently performed by the federal government;
  • the data necessary for the Commission to get a better understanding of tribal needs;
  • the feasibility of creating high-level federal positions to increase tribal participation in policy formation and program development;
  • the viability of a mechanism to ensure the continuation of critical programs for Indian tribes;
  • the appropriate role of state and local governments in federal activities affecting Indian tribes; and
  • modifications to laws, procedures, regulations, policies, and practices that might further the federal government's trust relationship with Indian tribes.
