PURPOSE OF THE BILL The purpose of H.R. 1880 is to require the Secretary of the Inte- rior to take into trust four parcels of Federal land for the benefit of certain Indian Pueblos in the State of New Mexico. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION Beginning in the late 19th century, many American Indian chil- dren found themselves thrust into boarding schools during the fed- eral allotment and assimilation policy period which lasted from 1871 to 1928. In 1881, the Federal Government established the Al- buquerque Indian School in New Mexico. The subsequent century saw several shifts in Federal Indian policy, up to the present policy period of self-determination and self-governance. As the nation and tribes moved into a new era, so, too, did the former Indian school. In 1969, the Bureau of Indian Affairs conveyed 11 acres of the former school to the 19 Pueblos by quitclaim deed.' The 19 Pueblos are the New Mexico Indian Pueblos of Acoma, Cochiti, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Nambe, Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan), Picuris, ISee Senate Report 95-445 at 2. 49-006
