What the document says

“Except as otherwise provided in this Act, the Tribal land shall be subject to Federal laws relating to Indian country, as defined by section 1151 of title 18, United States Code and protected by the restriction against alienation in section 177 of title 25, United States Code.”

To direct the Secretary of the Interior to complete all actions necessary for certain land to be held in restricted fee status by the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

Subsection (b)(1). It places the Tribal land under Federal laws relating to Indian country, citing section 1151 of title 18 and section 177 of title 25 of the United States Code. Both are cited, not reproduced, and neither is indexed on this site. The subsection opens with an exception for anything this Act provides otherwise, which reaches the definition in section 2.

What the document actually says

“Except as otherwise provided in this Act, the Tribal land shall be subject to Federal laws relating to Indian country, as defined by section 1151 of title 18, United States Code and protected by the restriction against alienation in section 177 of title 25, United States Code.”

That sentence, in plain words

The land falls under the rules for Indian country. Two parts of the code are named.

What this is about

The named parts are section 1151 of title 18 and section 177 of title 25. Those are not set out here. This law can say otherwise, and where it does, it wins.

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.

How to Read This Page

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.
