16 U.S.C. § 460w–1 — Boundaries not to include lands held in trust by United States for Red Cliff Band or Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians; exceptions

As a general rule, this section keeps two kinds of land out of the lakeshore: land the United States holds in trust for the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and land it holds in trust for the Bad River Band, including land held for individual tribal members (allottees). None of this trust land can be bought or added to the lakeshore's boundaries. There is one exception. It applies to two specific pieces of land in the Red Cliff Reservation: allotment number 74 GL and allotment number 135. If the Indians who together own more than 50 percent of the interest in one of these allotments agree to sell it to the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary may agree to the sale on behalf of the remaining owners too. The Secretary can then buy the allotment at a negotiated price and redraw the lakeshore's boundaries to include it.
