That— (1) it is the sense of the Senate that— (A) access to reliable, clean drinking water is an essential human need, and such access on Federal Indian reservations, Alaska Native villages, and in Native Hawaiian communities is— (i) critical to the health, well-being, and economic development of the individuals living on those lands and in those communities; and (ii) integral to maintaining the public health of the people of the United States; (B) settlement or adjudication of Tribal claims of reserved water rights is not and should not be a prerequisite to the provision of this basic human service to households located in Native communities, nor should the provision of basic human services be used to leverage the resolution of Tribal reserved water rights and claims; (C) the provision of reliable, clean drinking water to support the domestic requirements of Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Villages, and Native Hawaiian communities is an essential component of the Federal trust responsibility to Native Americans and critical to supporting permanent homelands; (D) while funding for safe drinking water systems for Native communities received a significant and groundbreaking boost from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( Public Law 117–58 ; 135 Stat. 429) (referred to in this resolution as IIJA ) and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ( Public Law 117–169 ; 136 Stat. 1818) (referred to in this resolution as IRA ), the funding made available for construction and repair of domestic water systems in Native communities is not a complete solution; (E) technical assistance is urgently needed to allow Native communities to plan and design the systems necessary to remedy the longstanding problem of lack of access to clean drinking water and bring those plans to the shovel ready stage where Native communities can take advantage of available construction funding
