The Interior Secretary had to arrange a 30-year deal with the College of Santa Fe for facilities and programs supporting the Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development. The Secretary also had to study whether the Institute needs a museum and report to Congress. If a museum at the College is recommended, land must be given at no federal cost.

(a)(1) If funding is available, the Secretary of the Interior must sign a 30-year agreement with the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico. The agreement provides educational facilities and creates joint education and arts programs with the Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development, which the Bureau of Indian Affairs runs. The Secretary must also work to improve the facilities the Institute uses at the College. (a)(2) This part of the law took effect October 1, 1984. (b)(1) The Secretary, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, must study whether the Institute needs a museum, whether building one is feasible, and whether it should be built near the Institute's current College of Santa Fe facilities. (b)(2) By February 1, 1985, the Secretary must report the study's results and recommendations to Congress. (b)(3) If the study recommends a museum and picks the College of Santa Fe as the best site, any agreement the Secretary signs to build it must guarantee that suitable land at the College will be provided to the federal government at no cost.
