25 U.S.C. § 63 — Consolidation of agencies

submitted 144 years ago by ch. 163 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 55 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The President can combine two or more Indian agencies into one, at his discretion. On reservations created by executive order, he can also merge tribes together, with their consent, and get rid of agencies that are no longer needed.

This section gives the President discretion over Indian agency structure. He may consolidate two or more agencies into one whenever he chooses. Where Indians are located on reservations created by executive order, the President has an added power: with the consent of the tribes that would be affected — given in the usual way tribes express consent — he may consolidate one or more tribes together. Once agencies become unnecessary because of a consolidation, he may abolish them.
