25 U.S.C. § 426Agreements with Indians not affected

submitted 135 years ago by ch. 561 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 86 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law protects existing treaties made with Indian tribes about their land. Nothing in the wider act can change or cancel those treaties. One narrow exception exists under a different title of federal law.

This section makes clear that nothing in the wider act it belongs to can change, repeal, or modify any agreement or treaty made with Indian tribes about disposing of their lands, or about land ceded to the United States to be sold for the tribes' benefit. Money from those sales must still go into the U.S. Treasury. The disposal of that land must keep following whatever the original treaties or agreements say. The only exception is that sections 161 and 162 of title 43 still apply and can affect how this works.

Nothing in this act shall change, repeal, or modify any agreements or treaties made with any Indian tribes for the disposal of their lands, or of land ceded to the United States to be disposed of for the benefit of such tribes, and the proceeds thereof to be placed in the Treasury of the United States; and the disposition of such lands shall continue in accordance with the provisions of such treaties or agreements; except as provided in sections 161 and 162 1 of title 43.
