25 U.S.C. § 351 — Patents with restrictions for lots in villages in Washington

submitted 116 years ago by ch. 431 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 144 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can give Washington State Indians a patent for their village lot. The patent restricts selling the lot to non-tribe members unless the Secretary approves. If the Indian died after June 25, 1910, without a patent, it's issued in that person's name instead.

The Secretary of the Interior can decide, whenever it seems best for the welfare of Indians living in a village on a Washington State Indian reservation, to give each of those Indians a patent for the village or town lot they live on. That patent must include a restriction: the lot can't be sold or transferred to anyone outside the tribe, unless the Secretary of the Interior approves the sale. If one of these Indians died on or after June 25, 1910, before receiving the patent for their lot, the lot they would have gotten is patented in their name anyway. It's then handled under the inheritance rules in section 372 of this title.

The Secretary of the Interior is authorized, whenever in his opinion it shall be conducive to the best welfare and interest of the Indians living within any Indian village on any of the Indian reservations in the State of Washington to issue a patent to each of said Indians for the village or town lot occupied by him, which patent shall contain restrictions against the alienation of the lot described therein to persons other than members of the tribe, except on approval of the Secretary of the Interior; and if any such Indian shall die subsequent to June 25, 1910, and before receiving patent to the lot occupied by him, the lot to which such Indian would have been entitled if living shall be patented in his name and shall be disposed of as provided for in section 372 of this title.
