Summary

Amends various Indian Acts to correct technical errors. Amends the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 to apply the restrictions on alienation of Indian lands to all such lands held in trust by the United States for Indians and all lands owned by Indians that are subject to such restrictions even those to which a tribe may have voted not to have such restrictions apply. Amends the Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1986 to permit Indian tribes and tribal organizations to purchase or lease land or facilities after entering into an agreement with the Secretary of Interior requiring their use for emergency shelters or half-way houses for Indian youth arrested for drug or alcohol related offenses. Provides that funds appropriated under that Act may be used by any Indian tribe or tribal organization to purchase or lease any land or facilities if the Secretary determines that no Federal land or facilities are available for such shelters or half-way houses. Amends the Public Health Service Act to permit the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants to Native Hawaiian health centers for: (1) preventive health services; (2) research into the prevention and control of sexually transmitted diseases and public information and education programs for the prevention and control of such diseases; (3) family planning services; and (4) community health programs. Includes such centers among other medical facilities eligible for designation as health manpower shortage areas for purposes of the National Health Service Corps Program. Amends the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to provide grants to higher educational institutions and health care facilities to enable such establishments to create programs to enable psychologists who have a doctorate in psychology and who agree to serve in an Indian or Native Hawaiian health program for a certain period to pursue advanced training or research in psychology. Authorizes appropriations. Amends the Indian Education Act of 1988 to repeal provisions concerning penalization of local education agencies subject to administrative or judicial proceedings for providing false information during audits. Amends the Education Amendments of 1978 to: (1) repeal provisions concerning equal allowances for national school board training and activities; and (2) increase funding for such training and activities. Amends the Augustus F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988 to require the Executive Director of the National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE) to serve on the White House Conference on Indian Education Task Force and the Chairman of NACIE to serve on the Advisory Committee of the Conference. Provides that salaries for employees of the Departments of Interior and Education who are assigned as staff to the Task Force will be paid out of departmental funds and not from funds appropriated for the Conference. Extends the authorization of appropriations for the Conference through FY 1992. Allows Indian tribes in Wisconsin and Montana to continue operation of electronic or electromechanical facsimiles of games of chance or slot machines that were legally operated as Class III games on Indian lands before May 2, 1988, for a one-year period as Class II games under the National Indian Gaming Regulatory Act if the Indian tribe having jurisdiction over the lands on which such gaming was operated made a request, by no later than November 16, 1988, to the State in which such gaming is operated to negotiate a tribal-State compact under that Act. Amends the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to accept as voters eligible to vote on any amendments to the constitution of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in Michigan: (1) all those persons who were deemed eligible by the Community to vote in the most recent election for the Tribal Council; and (2) any other person certified by the Council as a member of the Community and eligible to vote in any election for the Council. Amends the White Earth Reservation Land Settlement Act of 1985 to: (1) exempt claims relating to spousal allowance and maintenance payments under Minnesota law from consideration under that Act; and (2) authorize the Secretary of Interior to publish in the Federal Register any allotment or interest claims that are additional to the second list of such claims that have already been published.
