  1. 01

    How might transferring civil jurisdiction from federal to Utah state courts affect the Shivwits Band's ability to resolve disputes independently on their trust lands?

  2. 02

    What trade-offs exist between allowing 99-year land leases and the tribe's long-term control over their trust land resources and future generations' options?

  3. 03

    Why does this bill require no federal appropriations, and what ongoing federal responsibilities for tribal lands might remain despite the jurisdictional shift?
