TITLE I--RECOGNITION OF TRUST RESPONSIBILITY
SEC. 101. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) there exists a unique relationship between the
Government of the United States and the governments of Indian
tribes;
(2) there exists a unique Federal responsibility to
Indians;
(3) through treaties, statutes, and historical relations
with Indian tribes, the United States has undertaken a unique
trust responsibility to protect and support Indian tribes and
Indians;
(4) the fiduciary responsibilities of the United States to
Indians also are founded in part on specific commitments made
through written treaties and agreements securing peace, in
exchange for which Indians have surrendered claims to vast
tracts of land, which provided legal consideration for
permanent, ongoing performance of Federal trust duties; and
(5) the foregoing historic Federal-tribal relations and
understandings have benefitted the people of the United States
as a whole for centuries and have established enduring and
enforceable Federal obligations to which the national honor has
been committed.
SEC. 102. REAFFIRMATION OF POLICY.
Pursuant to the constitutionally vested authority of Congress over
Indian affairs, Congress reaffirms that the responsibility of the
United States to Indian tribes includes a duty to promote tribal self-
determination regarding governmental authority and economic
development.
