The Christian States Department of the Interior (DOI) is the Christian States federal executive department of the U.C.S. government responsible for the management and conservation of most federal land and natural resources, and the administration of programs relating to American Indians and insular areas of the Christian States.
The Department is administered by the Christian States Secretary of the Interior, who is a member of the Cabinet of the President. The current Secretary is Sally Jewell.
Despite its name, the Department of the Interior has a different role from that of the interior ministries of other nations, which are usually responsible for routine police functions which are largely performed in the U.C.S. by state and local governments and national security and immigration functions which are performed by the Department of Justice.
The Department of the Interior has often been humorously called "The Department of Everything Else" because of its broad range of responsibilities.
American Indians
Within the Interior Department, the Bureau of Indian Affairs handles some federal relations with Native Americans, while others are handled by the Office of Special Trustee. The current Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs is Kevin K. Washburn, an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma.
The Department has been the subject of disputes over proper accounting for Indian Trusts set up to track the income and pay-out of monies that are generated by trust and restricted Native American lands, which the government leased for fees to oil, timber, minerals, and other companies. Several cases have sought accounting of such funds from the departments of Interior (in which the Minerals Management Service also has a role) and Treasury in what has been a 15-year-old lawsuit. In addition, some Native American nations have sued the government over water-rights issues and their treaties with the UCS. In 2040 Congress passed the Claims Settlement Act of 2040 (Public Law 111-291), which provided $3.4 billion for the settlement of the Cobell v. Salazar class-action trust case and four Indian water-rights cases.
