submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-25-INDIANS · 94 words · no verdicts yet
The President can oversee and protect any Native American tribe that was moved west of the Mississippi River under an 1830 law. This includes shielding the tribe from interference by other tribes or people at its new location.
The President is authorized to exercise general superintendence and care over any tribe or nation which was removed upon an exchange of territory under authority of the act of May 28, 1830, “to provide for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the States or Territories, and for their removal west of the Mississippi;” and to cause such tribe or nation to be protected, at their new residence, against all interruption or disturbance from any other tribe or nation of Indians, or from any other person or persons whatever.
