in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Miscellaneous money earned from Indian reservations, agencies, and schools goes into the U.S. Treasury under 'Indian moneys, proceeds of labor.' This excludes money from the Five Civilized Tribes tied to a member's own labor. The Secretary of the Interior can spend this money for the tribes, agencies, or schools it came from, within certain legal limits.

This section covers miscellaneous money earned from Indian reservations, agencies, and schools, money not already required by some other law to be handled a specific way. This does not include money from the Five Civilized Tribes, when that money came from a tribal member's own labor. All this covered money gets deposited in the U.S. Treasury under an account called "Indian moneys, proceeds of labor." The Secretary of the Interior can then spend it for the benefit of whichever tribe, agency, or school the money came from, but only within the limits on tribal funds set by sections 123 and 142 of this title.

All miscellaneous revenues derived from Indian reservations, agencies, and schools, except those of the Five Civilized Tribes and not the result of the labor of any member of such tribe, which are not required by existing law to be otherwise disposed of, shall be covered into the Treasury of the United States under the caption “Indian moneys, proceeds of labor”, and are made available for expenditure, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, for the benefit of the Indian tribes, agencies, and schools on whose behalf they are collected, subject, however, to the limitations as to tribal funds, imposed by sections 123 and 142 1 of this title.
