This section says how money from selling ceded Indian lands must be handled. When a treaty promised a tribe payment or investment of proceeds from land it gave up, that money — after subtracting survey, sale, and treaty costs — goes into the U.S. Treasury the same way money from public-land sales does.

Some Indian tribes signed treaties ceding land to the United States, where the treaty promised the proceeds of that land would be invested for the tribe or paid to it. This section says: after subtracting the cost of surveying and selling the land, any sums the treaty required the United States to advance, and the cost of carrying out any other treaty obligations, all remaining money from selling that ceded land must be paid into the U.S. Treasury — using the same process used for money received from selling ordinary public lands.

All moneys received from the sales of lands that have been, or may be, ceded to the United States by Indian tribes, by treaties providing for the investment or payment to the Indians, parties thereto, of the proceeds of the lands ceded by them, respectively, after deducting the expenses of survey and sale, any sums stipulated to be advanced, and the expenses of fulfilling any engagements contained therein, shall be paid into the Treasury in the same manner that moneys received from the sales of public lands are paid into the Treasury.
