submitted 116 years ago by ch. 431 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 105 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can allow timber to be sold from trust land on Indian reservations, either to manage it sustainably or to convert the land to better use. After paying administrative costs, the sale proceeds go where the tribe's governing body decides, with the Secretary's approval. If a tribe has no governing body, the Secretary decides instead.

This section governs how tribes can sell timber from trust land, and who controls the money. Under regulations set by the Secretary of the Interior, timber on unallotted trust land within Indian reservations, or other tribal trust land, can be sold. The sale must follow sustained-yield management principles, or aim to convert the land to a better use. After subtracting any administrative expenses charged under section 413, the sale proceeds are used in one of two ways: (1) as decided by the tribe's governing body and approved by the Secretary, or (2) if the tribe has no governing body, as the Secretary decides on the tribe's behalf.
