T'uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area Act - Establishes the T'uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area within the Cibola National Forest and the Sandia Mountain Wilderness in New Mexico. Recognizes and protects in perpetuity: (1) the Pueblo of Sandia's rights and interests in such Area; (2) the wilderness and National Forest character of the Area; and (3) the public's longstanding use and enjoyment of the Area. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Forest Service, to continue to administer the Area as National Forest System lands. Sets forth the rights and interests of the Pueblo in such Area: (1) including free and unrestricted access for traditional and cultural uses (except as they conflict with the Wilderness Act and Federal wildlife protection laws); and (2) excluding the conveyance or exchange of land interests and the exclusion of persons or governmental entities. Allocates criminal and civil jurisdiction over such Area among the Pueblo, New Mexico, and the United States, as applicable. Requires the transfer of the La Luz tract and the Piedra Lisa tract (if later acquired) by the Pueblo to the United States to be held in trust. Requires the transfer of certain lands within the Evergreen Hills subdivision to the Pueblo. Requires the Secretary of the Interior to grant specified rights-of-way for roads, utilities, and the Forest Service. Extinguishes all Pueblo claims not specifically recognized within this Act.
