H.R. 10576 — Leech Lake Reservation Restoration Amendments Act of 2026

This section expands the federal land eligible for transfer to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe to include additional parcels in the Chippewa National Forest in Cass County, Minnesota, that records show were sold without unanimous consent of the rightful landowners. It authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to substitute alternative National Forest System land on an acre-for-acre basis through agreements with the Tribe that avoid in-holdings and prioritize parcels adjacent to existing trust lands. It reaffirms non-Tribal hunting, fishing, and recreation rights under section 97A.151 of the Minnesota Statutes and requires public engagement during implementation.
