(a) Extension; laws applicable; eligibility for Federal services and 
        benefits

    Federal recognition is hereby extended to the tribe, and the 
provisions of the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984) as amended [25 
U.S.C. 461 et seq.], except as inconsistent with specific provisions of 
this subchapter, are made applicable to the tribe and the members of the 
tribe. The tribe and the members of the tribe shall be eligible for all 
Federal services and benefits furnished to federally recognized Indian 
tribes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any law 
establishing such services or benefits, eligibility of the tribe and its 
members for such Federal services and benefits shall become effective 
upon November 18, 1977, without regard to the existence of a reservation 
for the tribe or the residence of members of the tribe on a reservation.

(b) Restoration of rights and privileges

    Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, all rights and 
privileges of the tribe and of members of the tribe under any Federal 
treaty, Executive order, agreement, or statute, or under any other 
authority, which were diminished or lost under the Act of August 13, 
1954 (68 Stat. 724) [25 U.S.C. 691 et seq.], are hereby restored, and 
such Act shall be inapplicable to the tribe and to members of the tribe 
after November 18, 1977.

        restored

    This subchapter shall not grant or restore any hunting, fishing, or 
trapping right of any nature, including any indirect or procedural right 
or advantage, to the tribe or any member of the tribe, nor shall it be 
construed as granting, establishing, or restoring a reservation for the 
tribe.

(d) Effect on property rights or obligations, contractual rights or 
        obligations, or obligations for taxes

    Except as specifically provided in this subchapter, nothing in this 
subchapter shall alter any property right or obligation, any contractual 
right or obligation, or any obligation for taxes already levied.
