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.

HR 2916 ratifies a land settlement agreement resolving longstanding claims by the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne regarding land in New York. The bill authorizes the transfer of specific lands and easements between the tribe, New York State, local counties, towns, and the New York Power Authority. It designates certain lands owned or acquired by the tribe within defined "Settlement Acquisition Areas" as "Indian Country" under federal law. This directly affects the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and the participating New York entities by finalizing land rights and legal status under the agreed settlement.
