and ,indian tribes2 and 7,b7 to respect its special political and legal relationship with ,native ,hawaiians2 7#b7 to acknowledge the treaty obligations of the ,federal ,government to ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 and ,indian tribes1 which have never been fulfilled2 7#c7 to ensure progress toward the fulfillment of trust and treaty obligations of the ,federal ,government2 7#d7 to ensure progress toward adequate funding for programs for ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 ,native ,hawaiians1 and ,indian tribes2 7#e7 to reaffirm and uphold ,tribal sovereignty and self-governance2 and 7#f7 to acknowledge the broken promises of the ,federal ,government to ,indian tribes and ,native ,hawaiians1 as embodied by-- 7,a7 the failure to uphold treaty obligations2 7,b7 the failure to fund programs that should have been fully funded in exchange for the loss of life and indigenous homelands2 7,c7 the ceded land and stolen natural resources from ,tribal lands2 and 7,d7 the acts taken to extinguish ,native ,american culture and the traditions of ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 and ,native ,hawaiians4 #c4 ,findings ,congress finds that-- 7#a7 in ,december #bjah1 the ,united ,states ,commission on ,civil ,rights issued a report entitled ,broken ,promises3 ,continuing ,federal ,funding ,shortfall for ,native ,americans1 which made a number of important findings1 which are related to the findings described in paragraphs 7#b7 through 7#h72 7#b7 the unique government-to-government relationship between the ,federal ,government and ,indian tribes1 and the trust responsibility and obligations of the ,federal ,government to ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 and ,indian tribes1 are-- 7,a7 enumerated in the ,united ,states ,constitution1 ,acts of ,congress1 ,executive orders1 ,supreme ,court precedent1 and ,federal policies and regulations2 and 7,b7 as applicable1 established in ,indian treaties signed by the ,united ,states2 7#c7 ,congress has also passed more than #aej laws that promote the welfare of ,native ,hawaiians and affirm a special political and legal relationship with ,native ,hawaiians arising out of their status as ,indigenous1 ,native people2 7#d7 ,federal programs designed to support the social and economic well-being of ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 ,native ,hawaiians1 and ,indian tribes remain chronically underfunded and sometimes inefficiently structured1 which-- 7,a7 leaves many basic obligations of the ,federal ,government in rural and urban areas with large populations of ,native ,americans unmet2 and 7,b7 contributes to the inequities observed in ,native ,american communities2 7#e7 woefully inadequate ,federal funding for ,native ,american programs often comes with restrictions that hamper access to funds1 including indirect allocations of ,federal funding to ,state governments to be provided to ,tribal governments and ,native ,american communities at the ,state's discretion1 which further diminishes the direct government-to-government relationship between the ,federal ,government and ,indian tribes and other funding mechanisms for ,native ,american communities2 7#f7 ,congress often provides funding for ,native ,american programs in a manner that makes efficient long-term planning and budgeting impossible or exceedingly difficult for ,tribal governments1 tribal organizations1 urban ,indian organizations1 and ,native ,american communities2 7#g7 the ,federal ,government continues to fail to keep accurate1 consistent1 and comprehensive records of ,federal spending for ,native ,american programs1 either for a given fiscal year or for longer time periods1 making monitoring of ,federal spending to meet the trust responsibility and obligations of the ,federal ,government difficult2 and 7#h7 7,a7 the ,federal ,government continues to insufficiently track ,native ,american populations and use outdated or incomplete data points1 contributing to the lack of adequate funding provided for necessary resources2 7,b7 there is a critical need for more accurate and current data collection for ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 and ,native ,hawaiians1 including disaggregated data on those populations2 and 7,c7 inaccurate and undercounted data can negatively impact ,federal funds and services received by ,american ,indian1 ,alaska ,native1 and ,native ,hawaiian communities4 #d4 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 ,indian tribes are distinct sovereigns that have a government-to-government relationship with the ,federal ,government2 7#b7 7,a7 the ,federal ,government has trust and treaty obligations to ,indian tribes that are established in treaties signed by the ,united ,states and enumerated in the ,constitution of the ,united ,states1 ,acts of ,congress1 ,executive orders1 ,supreme ,court precedent1 and ,federal policies and regulations2 and 7,b7 those treaties1 like all treaties made under the authority of the ,united ,states1 are the supreme law of the land1 as recognized in article ,,vi of the ,constitution of the ,united ,states2 7#c7 7,a7 the ,federal ,government has historically failed to carry out its promises and trust and treaty obligations to ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 ,indian tribes1 and1 as applicable1 ,native ,hawaiians2 and 7,b7 those failures-- 7i7 are ongoing1 as the ,federal ,government continually fails to adequately support the social and economic well-being of ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 ,native ,hawaiians1 and ,indian tribes2 and 7ii7 have created a civil rights crisis2 7#d7 the historical failures of the ,federal ,government described in paragraph 7#c7 include-- 7,a7 federally mandated depopulation of ,native ,americans1 including-- 7i7 numerous massacres carried out by the ,united ,states2 and 7ii7 the forced relocation efforts and genocide practices carried out by the ,united ,states2 7,b7 successive oppressive government policies1 such as the allotment and assimilation1 termination1 and relocation eras2 7,c7 suppression1 assimilation1 and cultural annihilation practices carried out against the ,united ,states ,indigenous peoples2 and 7,d7 an ongoing failure to acknowledge that the lands that make up the ,united ,states are indigenous lands2 7#e7 the ,federal ,government must do far more to live up to its trust and treaty obligations to ,american ,indians and ,alaska ,natives and ,indian tribes1 for just as the ,united ,states expects all nations to live up to their own treaty obligations1 the ,united ,states should live up to its own promises2 7#f7 the ,federal ,government can empower ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 and ,native ,hawaiians to realize enormous potential by honoring its promises and obligations through the enactment of legislation2 and 7#g7 ,american ,indians1 ,alaska ,natives1 and ,native ,hawaiians have long demonstrated remarkable strength1 resilience1 and revitalization despite the broken promises of the ,federal ,government and failure to acknowledge their contributions to the ,united ,states4 #e4 ,definitions ,in this ,act3

,federal agencies 7a7 ,purposes ,the purposes of this section are-- 7#a7 to enumerate a non-exhaustive set of principles to inform a codification of how ,federal agencies should engage in meaningful and timely ,tribal consultation2 7#b7 to underscore the importance of ,tribal consultation in the fulfilment of the trust and treaty obligations of the ,federal ,government2 7#c7 to affirm ,tribal consultation and the principle of free1 prior1 and informed consent as rights of ,indian tribes1 predicated on ,tribal sovereignty and self-determination2 and 7#d7 to affirm the need for the entire ,federal ,government to recognize the importance of 8regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials in the development of ,federal policies that have tribal implications1 to strengthen the ,united ,states government-to-government relationships with ,indian tribes1 and to reduce the imposition of unfunded mandates upon ,indian tribes10 as quoted in ,executive ,order #acage and elaborated in the ,presidential ,memorandum of ,january #bf1 #bjba4 7b7 ,findings ,congress finds that-- 7#a7 as of ,january #bjba1 there existed more than #bg directives1 handbooks1 plans1 policies1 orders1 and similar documents implementing various ,tribal consultation policies1 totaling more than #cjj pages2 7#b7 the current lack of centralization in ,federal agencies' ,tribal consultation policies results in a large number of policies with which ,indian tribes are expected to be familiar in order to engage in consultation2 7#c7 the current lack of centralization in ,federal agencies' ,tribal consultations-- 7,a7 results in a number of challenges1 including scheduling conflicts and unsustainable drains on the resources of ,indian tribes and the time of ,tribal leaders2 and 7,b7 reflect a lack of respect for ,tribal leaders2 7#d7 ,federal agency consultation policies take dramatically different views on the purpose of ,tribal consultation1 resulting in significantly different experiences for ,indian tribes attempting to engage in meaningful nation-to-nation dialogue2 and 7#e7 history demonstrates that the ,federal ,government best serves ,native ,american communities when ,tribal governments are empowered to lead their own communities4 7c7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 consultation is a right between sovereigns1 and the responsibilities and privileges associated with it cannot be delegated to other actors2 7#b7 the purpose of ,tribal consultation should be for the ,federal ,government to obtain the free1 prior1 and informed consent of affected ,indian tribes2 7#c7 ,tribal consultation-- 7,a7 is both a right of ,indian tribes and a process2 7,b7 should occur when any ,federal rulemaking1 legislation1 policy1 guidance1 operational activity1 grant or funding formula change1 or other action may have a substantial direct effect on ,indian tribes2 7,c7 requires dialogue1 which should often take place through formal face-to-face meetings1 but may also occur through telephonic1 electronic1 or printed means2 7,d7 should be used to empower ,tribal governments to lead their own communities2 7,e7 7i7 should be a collaborative process2 7ii7 should be built upon the exchange of information2 and 7iii7 should promote enhanced communication that emphasizes trust1 respect1 and shared responsibility2 7,f7 should involve individuals with decision-making authority2 and 7,g7 in its current form is inadequate and requires far more from the ,federal ,government2 7#d7 the records resulting from consultations between the ,federal ,government and ,tribal governments should be maintained and published1 subject to the condition that sensitive ,tribal information should be protected2 7#e7 for ,tribal consultation to be effective1 both ,indian tribes and the ,federal ,government should have the capacity to engage effectively in the consultation process2 7#f7 any legislation or policy attempting to prescribe the conditions of ,tribal consultation should be preceded by the gathering of ,tribal input with the goal of reaching a consensus on the proposed legislation2 and 7#g7 ,indian tribes-- 7,a7 should be involved in the ,tribal consultation process on their request or as early as practicable2 7,b7 should have a meaningful remedy for violations of their right to ,tribal consultation2 7,c7 should be entitled to a codified1 formal dispute resolution process to provide the ,indian tribes with a potential remedy when their rights as sovereigns are violated by the ,federal ,government2 and 7,d7 should receive adequate notice1 and sufficient information1 about any ,tribal consultation sessions4 #ac4 ,interagency working group on data collection

,authorization of appropriations ,there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section4 ,i ,criminal justice and public safety #aja4 ,findings ,congress finds that-- 7#a7 ,tribal law enforcement agencies in ,american ,indian and ,alaska ,native communities have fewer officers per capita than other law enforcement agencies nationwide1 leaving residents of ,indian country and ,alaska ,native ,villages less safe and subject to higher rates of crime2 7#b7 ,native ,americans are killed during police encounters at a higher rate than any other group2 7#c7 ,native ,americans suffer as victims of violent crime at a rate that is #b4e times the national average2 7#d7 ,native ,american women are #aj times more likely to be murdered and #b times more likely to experience rape or experience sexual assault crimes2 7#e7 the criminal justice system in its current form creates structural barriers and fails to recognize ,tribal sovereignty and inherent ,tribal criminal jurisdiction on ,tribal lands2 7#f7 some ,indian tribes established ,tribal courts before some ,state courts2 7#g7 for example1 the ,cherokee ,nation opened its ,supreme ,court in #ahbb1 #bc years before the ,state of ,georgia opened its own ,supreme ,court2 7#h7 ,indian tribes historically exercised criminal jurisdiction over non-,indians who committed crimes on ,tribal lands2 7#i7 for example1 in #ahbe1 the ,muscogee 7,creek7 ,nation passed a law criminalizing rape against women on ,creek lands1 which applied to all persons1 regardless of ,tribal citizenship status1 and the ,muscogee 7,creek7 ,nation prosecuted non-,indian and ,indian men who raped women on ,creek lands2 7#aj7 the history of inadequate ,federal funding for public safety on ,tribal lands and complex legal jurisdiction on ,tribal lands negatively impacts access to counsel in ,tribal courts2 7#aa7 in ,oliphant v4 ,suquamish ,indian ,tribe1 #dce ,u4,s4 #aia1 #bab 7#aigh71 the ,supreme ,court concluded that whether ,indian tribes should be authorized to try non-,indians is a consideration for ,congress to weigh2 7#ab7 the ,supreme ,court recently affirmed this holding in ,june #bjba1 in ,united ,states v4 ,cooley1 #ada ,s4 ,ct4 #afch1 #afdc 7#bjba71 concluding once again that tribal authority remains subject to the plenary authority of ,congress2 7#ac7 existing successful ,federal and ,tribal self-governance programs working to combat the inequities described in this section face chronic underfunding2 and 7#ad7 the special ,tribal criminal jurisdiction exercised by ,indian tribes pursuant to section #bjd of ,public ,law #ij-bhd 7#be ,u4,s4,c4 #acjd7 7commonly known as the ,indian ,civil ,rights ,act of #aifh 7 has been a success4 #ajb4 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 ,congress should provide more resources for public safety and other programs of the ,department of ,justice and the ,bureau of ,indian ,affairs that make ,american ,indian and ,alaska ,native communities safer2 7#b7 ,congress should provide more resources for ,tribal law enforcement agencies1 ,tribal courts1 and ,tribal detention centers to ensure ,tribal sovereignty over public safety programs in ,indian country and ,alaska ,native ,villages2 7#c7 ,indian tribes have the inherent sovereign authority to exercise full criminal jurisdiction over persons-- 7,a7 within the sovereign territory of the ,indian tribe2 and 7,b7 who commit a violation of ,tribal criminal law2 7#d7 the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states1 in ,oliphant v4 ,suquamish ,indian ,tribe1 #dce ,u4,s4 #aia 7#aigh71 violated the inherent sovereign authority of ,indian tribes by wrongly limiting tribal criminal jurisdiction and removing ,tribal authority to prosecute non-,indians unless authorized by ,congress2 7#e7 the limitation by the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states of inherent ,tribal jurisdiction has effectively granted non-,indians immunity for crimes committed in ,indian country and ,alaska ,native ,villages1 leading to violence and criminal activity by non-,indians and preventing ,indian tribes from taking recourse2 7#f7 the ,violence ,against ,women ,reauthorization ,act of #bjac 7,public ,law #aac-d2 #abg ,stat4 #ed7 recognized and affirmed the inherent criminal jurisdiction of ,indian tribes over non-,indians who commit crimes of domestic violence against ,indians in ,indian country2 7#g7 the ,violence ,against ,women ,reauthorization ,act of #bjbb 7,public ,law #aag-ajc2 #acf ,stat4 #hdj7 recognized and affirmed the inherent criminal jurisdiction of ,indian tribes over non-,indians who commit crimes of assaults on ,tribal justice personnel1 child violence1 obstruction of justice1 sexual violence1 sex trafficking1 and stalking2 7#h7 the jurisdiction of ,indian tribes over the crimes described in paragraphs 7#f7 and 7#g7 is known as special ,tribal criminal jurisdiction2 7#i7 the exercise of special ,tribal criminal jurisdiction has allowed many ,indian tribes to begin to address the crisis of violence against ,american ,indian and ,alaska ,native women by holding offenders accountable and pursuing justice for victims2 7#aj7 the ,indian tribes that have chosen to implement special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction under the ,violence ,against ,women ,reauthorization ,act of #bjac 7,public ,law #aac-d2 #abg ,stat4 #ed7 have successfully upheld the rights of defendants under that ,act and complied with the requirements of that ,act1 including due process protections1 but this partial restoration of ,tribal jurisdiction has proven insufficient to address the range of serious crimes committed by non-,indians in ,indian country and ,alaska ,native ,villages and in violation of ,tribal criminal law1 and as a result1 a large number of violent crimes committed against ,native victims go unprosecuted2 and 7#aa7 ,congress has a trust duty and responsibility1 stemming from both the treaties signed with ,indian tribes and the ,constitution of the ,united ,states1 to fund and support strong ,tribal governments1 which necessarily includes the funding of ,tribal courts1 ,tribal law enforcement1 and victim services4 #ajc4 ,full ,tribal criminal jurisdiction 7a7 ,in general ,title ,,ii of ,public ,law #ij-bhd 7#be ,u4,s4,c4 #acja et seq47 7commonly known as the ,indian ,civil ,rights ,act of
