The Subcommittee on Indian Affairs is considering three bills that would affect Native American tribes in Oregon and Arizona. H.R. 12114 would declare title to certain Federal lands in Oregon to be in the United States in trust for the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. H.R. 11128 would authorize the partition of the surface rights in the joint use area of the 1882 Executive Order Hopi Reservation and the surface and subsurface rights in the 1934 Navajo Reservation between the Hopi and Navajo Tribes, and would provide for allotments of such rights to Paiute Indians living on said land. H.R. 4753 and H.R. 4754 would both authorize the partition of the surface rights of the Hopi and Navajo Indian Tribes in undivided trust lands.
