Albuquerque Indian School Act of 2025

This legislation mandates the transfer of approximately 9.89 acres of federal land into trust for the benefit of the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico . This land, historically part of the Albuquerque Indian School, is currently under the custody of the General Services Administration and consists of three specific tracts in Albuquerque. Within 90 days of enactment and the relocation of all federal tenants, the Administrator of General Services must transfer administrative jurisdiction of these tracts to the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary will then hold this land in trust for the Pueblos, to be used for educational, health, cultural, business, and economic development . The transferred land will be subject to existing encumbrances and federal laws applicable to Indian trust land in New Mexico, and importantly, all forms of gaming are explicitly prohibited on these trust lands.
