The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:30 p.m. in room 562, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Hoeven, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. JOHN HOEVEN, U.S. SENATOR FROM NORTH DAKOTA The CHAIRMAN. Good afternoon. I will call this legislative hear- ing to order. Before we begin, I want to remind those members who are con- necting with us remotely to please mute your microphone. This will cut down on the static feedback in the hearing room. In addition to the Senators in the room right now, also attending remotely are Senators McSally, Tester, Cortez Masto, and Mur- kowski. Today the Committee will receive testimony on seven bills, S. 2165, the Safeguard Tribal Objects of Patrimony Act of 2019; S. 2716, A Bill to Amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act, and for other purposes; S. 2912, the Blackwater Trading Post Land Trans- fer Act; S. 3019, the Montana Water Rights Protection Act; S. 3044, the Western Tribal Water Infrastructure Act of 2019; S. 3099, the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium Land Transfer Act of 2019; and S. 3100, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium Land Transfer Act of 2019. On July 18th, 2019, Senator Henrich introduced S. 2165, the Safeguard Tribal Acts of Patrimony Act. This legislation is centered on providing additional legal protection to Native American tribal artifacts and sacred objects, by creating an explicit prohibition on exporting cultural heritage obtained in violation of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, Archeological Resources Protection Act, or the Antiquities Act. The bill also sets forth an exporter certification system to accom- pany this export prohibition. Such a prohibition makes it possible for tribes to utilize other countries’ domestic laws and law enforce- ment mechanisms to regain their cultural heritage. The STOP Act confirms the President’s authority to enter into agreements under a 1970 international treaty in order to request the return of tribal cultural heritage from other countries.

The STOP Act also creates a Federal framework to support the voluntary return of Native American tangible cultural heritage. This includes establishing a referral program at the Department of Interior that will assist individuals in finding a tribe with a cul- tural affiliation to tangible cultural heritage for the purposes of proper return. Lastly, S. 2165 creates a Federal working group to ensure coordination between
