This bill establishes the Sáttítla National Monument in California, protecting approximately 206,563 acres of federal forest land managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The monument aims to conserve ecological, cultural, and recreational resources while partnering with federally recognized Indian tribes that have cultural connections to the area. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to develop a management plan within two years and establish a Tribal Commission within one year, with tribe members playing a direct role in decisions about the monument's management. The legislation permits existing activities like grazing, hunting, fishing, and recreation to continue, while prohibiting new commercial timber operations and permanently withdrawing the land from mining and mineral leasing. No specific funding amount is authorized; instead, the bill allows "such sums as are necessary" to be appropriated for establishing and managing the monument.
