This law lets tribes lease unused farmland. Unallotted irrigable land on an Indian reservation can be leased out for farming. Leases can last up to ten years, and need the tribal council's consent.
This section allows leasing of certain reservation land for farming.
Land on an Indian reservation that hasn't been allotted to individual owners, and that can be irrigated, may be leased out so someone can farm it. A lease under this section can run for up to ten years, but no longer.
Before such a lease can happen, the tribal council, business committee, or another body that represents the tribe must agree to it. The Secretary of the Interior also gets to set rules and regulations that control how these leases work.
