in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

With the Secretary of the Interior's approval, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, or Seminole Tribes may make contracts — including legal-service contracts — involving tribal money or property. That approval is not required for legal contracts about pursuing claims against the United States.

Contracts that involve paying or spending tribal money, or that affect property belonging to the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, or Seminole Tribes — including contracts for professional legal services — may be made by those tribes, as long as the Secretary of the Interior, or someone the Secretary authorizes, approves them, under rules the Secretary sets. This approval requirement does not apply to contracts for professional legal services that involve pursuing claims against the United States.
