in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Special rules apply when Hualapai tribal land falls inside Lake Mead's boundaries. The tribal council must approve including its land first, and mineral use, leases, and hunting and fishing on that land all follow Indian-land law, not the usual park rules.

The general powers this subchapter grants come with special limits whenever they touch tribal or allotted land belonging to the Hualapai Indians that sits inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area's boundaries. (a) Including any Hualapai land inside the recreation area doesn't take effect until the Hualapai Tribal Council approves it. (b) Any mineral development or other use of that Indian land can only happen under the laws that specifically govern Indian lands. (c) Leases and permits for general recreation, business sites, home sites, vacation cabin sites, and grazing on that land must be issued under the laws for leasing Indian lands. Any development or improvement lease granted this way still has to follow the development standards set for the whole Lake Mead National Recreation Area. (d) Nothing here takes away the hunting and fishing privileges Hualapai Tribe members already use, and nothing reduces their rights and privileges on the part of the reservation that's now inside the Lake Mead Recreation Area.
