Summary

Prohibits: (1) the relocation of Navajo and Hopi Indians for an 18-month period; (2) the expenditure of Federal funds during such period with respect to certain lands held in trust for the Navajo and Hopi Tribes; and (3) construction on such lands during such period. Establishes the Navajo and Hopi Relocation Advisory Commission to study: (1) the problems resulting from the implementation of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974; and (2) alternatives to relocations required under such Act that meet the needs of traditional members of both the Hopi and Navajo traditional governments.
