Abstract

The federal government owns roughly 640 million acres of land, about 28% of the 2.27 billion acres of land in the United States. In addition, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), in the Department of the Interior (DOI), is responsible for administering another 55 million acres held in trust for American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives. Congress faces diverse issues pertaining to the management, development, and protection of federal and Indian lands.
