Section 408. Surrender of allotments by relinquishment for benefit of children
In any case where an Indian has an allotment of land, or any
right, title, or interest in such an allotment, the Secretary of
the Interior, in his discretion, may permit such Indian to
surrender such allotment, or any right, title, or interest therein,
by such formal relinquishment as may be prescribed by the Secretary
of the Interior, for the benefit of any of his or her children to
