The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) the United States and Indian tribes have
a government to government relationship;
(2) the United States has a trust responsi-
bility to protect, conserve, utilize, and man-
age Indian agricultural lands consistent with
its fiduciary obligation and its unique rela-
tionship with Indian tribes;
(3) Indian agricultural lands are renewable
and manageable natural resources which are
vital to the economic, social, and cultural wel-
fare of many Indian tribes and their members;
and
(4) development and management of Indian
agricultural lands in accordance with inte-
grated resource management plans will ensure
proper management of Indian agricultural
lands and will produce increased economic re-
turns, enhance Indian self-determination, pro-
mote employment opportunities, and improve
the social and economic well-being of Indian
and surrounding communities.
