Carcieri v. Salazar: The Secretary of the Interior May Not Acquire Trust Land for the Narragansett Indian Tribe Under 25 U.S.C. § 465 Because That Statute Applies to Tribes "Under Federal Jurisdiction" in 1934
A number of tribes have obtained federal recognition since 1934. As a December 2010 trust acquisition for the Cowlitz Indian Tribe may indicate, the Department of the Interior (DOI) may continue to take land into trust for recently recognized tribes, provided an extensive exploration of the particular history of the tribe and its relations with the federal government demonstrates to the satisfaction of DOI that the tribe was "under Federal jurisdiction" in 1934. In the 111th Congress, there were several bills aimed at amending the IRA; none, however, were enacted. A provision amending the IRA retroactively and ratifying past trust acquisitions was included in the continuing appropriations bill for FY2011, H.R. 3082, as passed by the House of Representatives. In the Senate, S. 1703 (S.Rept. 111-247), sought to address the issue. In the 112th Congress, three bills have been introduced to amend the 1934 legislation: H.R. 1234, H.R. 1291, and S. 676 (which was reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on April 7, 2011). There are also measures to compensate state and local educational agencies and governmental units for loss of tax revenues when land is taken into trust for Indians: H.R. 1851, H.R. 1882, and S. 988. Bills: H.R. 1234, H.R. 1291, S. 676, H.R. 1851, H.R. 1882, S. 988
