States that the Band and the United States (acting as trustee for the Band), waive specified claims against the RCWD.

Authorizes the waiver of claims by the Band against the United States regarding specified water rights and damages.

Prohibits Interior from being liable for failing to carry out any obligation or activity under this Act if there are insufficient appropriations.
