Section 640d-22. Authorization for exchange of reservation lands; availability of additional relocation benefits; restrictions
The Navajo and Hopi Tribes are hereby authorized to exchange
lands which are part of their respective reservations. In the event
that the tribes should negotiate and agree on an exchange of lands
pursuant to authority granted herein the Commissioner shall make
available 125 per centum of the relocation benefits provided in
sections 640d-13 and 640d-14 of this title to members of either
tribe living on land to be exchanged to other than his or her own
tribe, except that such benefits shall be available only if, within
one hundred and eighty days of the agreement, a majority of the
adult members of the tribe who would be eligible to relocate from
exchanged lands sign a contract with the Commissioner to relocate
within twelve months of the agreement or such later time as
determined by the Commissioner and such additional benefits shall
only be paid to those who actually relocate within such period.
