Section 347. Limitations of actions for lands patented in severalty under treaties
In all actions brought in any State court or United States court
by any patentee, his heirs, grantees, or any person claiming under
such patentee, for the possession or rents or profits of lands
patented in severalty to the members of any tribe of Indians under
any treaty between it and the United States of America, where a
deed has been approved by the Secretary of the Interior to the land
sought to be recovered, the statutes of limitations of the States
in which said land is situate shall be held to apply, and it shall
be a complete defense to such action that the same has not been
brought within the time prescribed by the statutes of said State
the same as if such action had been brought for the recovery of
land patented to others than members of any tribe of Indians.
