President Bush on Wednesday signed into law a bill returning more than 4,000 acres to two northern New Mexico Pueblos.

Santa Clara Pueblo will receive 2,284 acres of aboriginal land. San Ildefonso will receive 2,000 acres.

The law prohibits new commercial development on the land, which was formerly under Bureau of Land Management control.
