U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 286. Sending child to school out of State without consent
No Indian child shall be sent from any Indian reservation to a
school beyond the State or Territory in which said reservation is
situated without the voluntary consent of the father or mother of
such child if either of them is living, and if neither of them is
living without the voluntary consent of the next of kin of such
child. Such consent shall be made before the agent of the
reservation, and he shall send to the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs his certificate that such consent has been voluntarily
given before such child shall be removed from such reservation. And
it shall be unlawful for any Indian agent or other employee of the
Government to induce, or seek to induce, by withholding rations or
by other improper means, the parents or next of kin of any Indian
to consent to the removal of any Indian child beyond the limits of
any reservation.
