The bill H.R. 8381 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to purchase, sell, and exchange lands on the Kalispel Indian Reservation. The bill outlines the process for acquiring and selling tribal lands, the approval process required, and the permitted uses of sale proceeds. Additionally, the bill allows for the mortgaging and leasing of tribal land. The Subcommittee amendment removed the authority to acquire and exchange lands as the tribe already has such authority.
