Sec. 3701. Findings

    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 responsibility to protect, 
    conserve, utilize, and manage Indian agricultural lands consistent 
    with its fiduciary obligation and its unique relationship with 
    Indian tribes;
        (3) Indian agricultural lands are renewable and manageable 
    natural resources which are vital to the economic, social, and 
    cultural welfare of many Indian tribes and their members; and
        (4) development and management of Indian agricultural lands in 
    accordance with integrated resource management plans will ensure 
    proper management of Indian agricultural lands and will produce 
    increased economic returns, enhance Indian self-determination, 
    promote employment opportunities, and improve the social and 
    economic well-being of Indian and surrounding communities.
