<\/P>\r\nMembers of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources<\/a> asked numerous questions about the H.R.8952<\/a>, the Crow Revenue Act. The bill would transfer about 4,660 acres of privately-held mineral rights on the Crow Reservation<\/a> in Montana to the Crow Tribe.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nIn exchange, the measure directs the federal government to transfer about 5,470 acres in land and mineral rights off the reservation to the Hope Family. The family, who are non-Native, owns the mineral rights that would be transferred to the tribe.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nRepublican supporters of H.R.8952 largely directed questions to Derf Johnson from the Montana Environmental Information Center<\/a>, an organization that has raised questions about the bill. The group has worked with the Aps\u00e1alook\u00e9 Allottees Alliance<\/a>, an organization focused on the rights of individual Indian landowners on the Crow Reservation.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nThe Aps\u00e1alook\u00e9 Allottees Alliance submitted a statement for the record in opposition to H.R.8952<\/a>.\r\n
