U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 344. Cancellation of allotment of unsuitable land
If any Indian of a tribe whose surplus lands have been ceded or
opened to disposal has received an allotment embracing lands
unsuitable for allotment purposes, such allotment may be canceled
and other unappropriated, unoccupied, and unreserved land of equal
area, within the ceded portions of the reservation upon which such
Indian belongs, allotted to him upon the same terms and with the
same restrictions as the original allotment, and lands described in
any such canceled allotment shall be disposed of as other ceded
lands of such reservation. This provision shall not apply to the
lands formerly comprising Indian Territory. The Secretary of the
Interior is authorized to prescribe rules and regulations to carry
this law into effect.
