25 U.S.C. § 393 — Leases of restricted allotments
submitted 105 years ago by ch. 119 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 67 words · no verdicts yet
This law lets an Indian allottee or their heirs lease restricted land for farming or grazing. The superintendent or officer in charge of the reservation must approve the lease. This rule does not apply to the Five Civilized Tribes.
If an Indian's land allotment is "restricted" — meaning there are legal limits on what the owner can do with it — the allottee or their heirs may still lease it out, but only for farming and grazing purposes. Before the lease is valid, the superintendent or other officer in charge of the reservation where the land sits must approve it. The Secretary* of the Interior sets the rules and regulations that govern how these leases work.
This provision has one exception: it does not apply to land belonging to members of the Five Civilized Tribes.
The restricted allotment of any Indian may be leased for farming and grazing purposes by the allottee or his heirs, subject only to the approval of the superintendent or other officer in charge of the reservation where the land is located, under such rules and regulations as the Secretary* of the Interior may prescribe: Provided, That this provision shall not apply to the Five Civilized Tribes.
