Authorizes a one-for-one land exchange between the United States and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation: if the Nation offers specified non‑federal parcels, the Secretary of Agriculture must accept them within 120 days and convey specified federal parcels to the Nation, while reserving an access easement for certain Forest Service roads. The law requires surveys to fix exact acreages (the Nation pays for the non‑federal survey), allows minor map or description corrections, requires a preservation agreement for the Arrowhead landmark within 120 days, and places the acquired parcels into the San Bernardino National Forest.
Federal Land is about 1,475 acres of National Forest System land depicted as F–1 and F–2 on the Federal Land Maps.
Federal Land Maps are the two maps titled 'San Manuel Ancestral Land Exchange... Federal Lands Proposed for Exchange (map 1 of 2)' and '(map 2 of 2)', created July 8, 2022 and revised January 10, 2023.
Nation means the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, a federally recognized tribe also known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
Non‑Federal Land is about 1,460 acres owned by the Nation, depicted as NF–1, NF–2, NF–3, NF–4a, and NF–5 on the Non‑Federal Land Maps.
