American Indian Religious Freedom Act Amendments of 1989 - Amends the American Indian Religious Freedom Act to prohibit, absent a compelling Federal interest, the management of Federal lands that historically have been part of a Native American religion in a manner that would threaten the practice of such religion. Requires Federal agencies, in the event that such a threat is established and the Federal interest is compelling, to select a course of action that is the least intrusive on such practices.
