H.R. 7679 establishes a Navajo-Hopi Board of Arbitration to mediate and arbitrate the conflicting interests of the Navajo and Hopi Indian tribes regarding lands within their reservations. The Board is given authority to set rules, request negotiation teams from each tribe, and facilitate agreements within a specified timeframe. If an agreement is reached, it must be approved by Congress. If no agreement is reached, the Board will select the most fair and equitable offer. The Act also includes provisions for land allotments, conservation practices, and legal actions between the tribes. Funding is allocated for the implementation of the Act.
