A bill to authorize, ratify, and confirm the Agreement of Settlement and Compromise to Resolve the Akwesasne Mohawk Land Claim in the State of New York, and for other purposes.

This bill authorizes, ratifies, and confirms a settlement agreement resolving a longstanding land claim by the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne against New York State and local governments. It approves the transfer of specific lands and rights related to three federal court cases, ending the legal disputes. The agreement designates certain lands owned or acquired by the tribe within defined settlement areas as "Indian Country" under federal law. This directly affects the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, the state of New York, Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties, and the towns of Fort Covington and Bombay.
