in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can grant rights-of-way for any purpose across Indian trust or restricted land. This includes Pueblo land in New Mexico and any other land set aside for Indian use. The Secretary sets the conditions for each right-of-way.

The Secretary of the Interior has the power to grant rights-of-way — permission to cross land — for any purpose, subject to whatever conditions the Secretary sets. This applies to land the United States holds in trust for individual Indians or for Indian tribes, communities, bands, or nations, and to land that individual Indians or tribes own themselves but cannot freely sell because of legal restrictions. It specifically includes land belonging to the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, and it also covers any other land that has been, or will be, acquired or set aside for the use and benefit of Indians.
