SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) It is the policy of the United States to promote tribal 
        self-determination and self-governance.
            (2) The United States holds most Indian lands and natural 
        resources in trust for the benefit of Indian tribes and 
        individual Indians.
            (3) The promotion of increased tribal involvement in and 
        control over the management and use of Indian resources is 
        consistent with the Federal trust responsibility and the 
        policies of self-determination and self-governance with respect 
        to Indian tribes.
            (4) Among the principal policy objectives of Indian tribes 
        are the management of resources of the tribes in a manner 
        that--
                    (A) is consistent with the cultural, social, and 
                economic needs and values of the tribes; and
                    (B) will provide for the long-term sustainable 
                management of such resources.
            (5) Indian resources contain important biological diversity 
        and natural resources that have ecological value.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to assist 
        Indian tribes in the development and implementation of 
        integrated resource management plans.
            (2) To ensure that the management of Indian resources is 
        conducted in a manner that is consistent with tribal culture 
        and values, applicable laws, and the Federal trust 
        responsibilities.
            (3) To promote and enhance tribal self-determination and 
        self-governance by ensuring tribal control of Indian resources 
        and management by Indian tribes with the assistance of the 
        Secretary.
            (4) To ensure that the management of Indian resources is 
        conducted in a sustainable manner that provides for long-term 
        conservation of biological diversity and ecological values and 
        the protection of public health.
