U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 835g. Relocation of Indian cemeteries
As to any Indian cemetery lands required for the project, the
Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, in lieu
of requiring payment therefor, to establish cemeteries on other
lands that he may select and acquire for the purpose, and to remove
bodies, markers, and other appurtenances to the new sites. All
costs incurred in connection with any such relocation shall be paid
from moneys appropriated for the project. All right, title, and
interest of the Indians in the lands within any cemetery so
relocated shall terminate and the grant of title under sections
835d to 835h of this title take effect as of the date the Secretary
of the Interior authorizes the relocation. Sites of the relocated
cemeteries shall be held in trust by the United States for the
Spokane or Colville Tribe, as the case may be, and shall be
nontaxable.
