43 U.S.C. § 210 — Recognition of equitable claims on certain lands in Oklahoma; validation of homestead entries
submitted 78 years ago by ch. 605 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 70 words · no verdicts yet
This law tells the Secretary of the Interior to recognize certain old land claims in Oklahoma. It covers settlers who moved onto the land before 1934 and people whose homestead paperwork was wrongly approved. The Secretary must validate these claims if they are otherwise in order.
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to recognize equitable claims to such lands based on settlement made prior to January 1, 1934, and all homestead entries of such lands, the allowance of which was erroneous because the lands were not subject to entry, and all suspended entries and applications to make final proof, are validated if otherwise regular, as of the date of the regular application.
