HR 226: Eastern Band of Cherokee Historic Lands Reacquisition Act

This bill transfers specific federal lands managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in Monroe County, Tennessee, into trust for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. It includes 46 acres for the Sequoyah Museum, 11.9 acres for support facilities, 18.2 acres for Chota and Tanasi memorials, plus easements for a peninsula (8.5 acres) and trail (11.4 acres). The lands must be used primarily for cultural preservation - like interpreting Cherokee history, managing memorials, and operating educational programs related to the Trail of Tears - while respecting TVA's flood control and water management responsibilities. The bill explicitly prohibits gaming on these lands and outlines detailed conditions for TVA's water level management and tribal land use.
