This law extends the General Allotment Act of 1887 to more lands. It covers land bought, or to be bought, by Congress for an individual Indian, band, or tribe. It applies unless another law specifically says otherwise.

This law stretches the reach of the Act of February 8, 1887 — commonly called the General Allotment Act — as that Act has since been amended. Normally that Act covered only certain lands. This section extends its rules to all land that Congress has already authorized to be purchased, or may in the future authorize to be purchased, for the use or benefit of an individual Indian person, or an Indian band or tribe. This extension applies automatically unless some other law specifically provides something different.
