in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law applies to a tribal member covered by a treaty with the government. It requires the local Indian agent and superintendent to protect that person's peaceful use of the land. The protection applies when it doesn't conflict with other laws.

This section applies when a tribe has signed treaty agreements with the government, and a member of that tribe wants to live under the treaty's rules for individual landownership — described in the text as wanting to "adopt the habits of civilized life." If that person has been given a personal share ("allotted... in severalty") of the tribe's land, following the treaty's terms, then the local Indian agent and the superintendent for that tribe must take steps to protect the person's quiet enjoyment of that allotted land. Those steps must not go against any other law.

Whenever any Indian, being a member of any band or tribe with whom the Government has or shall have entered into treaty stipulations, being desirous to adopt the habits of civilized life, has had a portion of the lands belonging to his tribe allotted to him in severalty, in pursuance of such treaty stipulations, the agent and superintendent of such tribe shall take such measures, not inconsistent with law, as may be necessary to protect such Indian in the quiet enjoyment of the lands so allotted to him.
