Indian Tribe takes its meaning from the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act

What the document says
“``(4) Indian tribe.--The term `Indian Tribe' has the meaning given that term in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304).”
Indian Tribe takes the meaning it carries in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304), a statute that is not indexed here. Section 3 of this Act adds the term to the Foundation's purposes and to the list of bodies named in the authorization, and subsection (a)(6) below adds it to a list in paragraph (13).
What the document actually says
“``(4) Indian tribe.--The term `Indian Tribe' has the meaning given that term in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304).”
That sentence, in plain words
The term Indian Tribe is used in this law. Its meaning comes from a different law. That law is named here.
What this is about
This law does not print the other law's words. So the site does not say what the term covers. A reader has to look it up.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
