Section 351. Patents with restrictions for lots in villages in Washington
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized, whenever in his
opinion it shall be conducive to the best welfare and interest of
the Indians living within any Indian village on any of the Indian
reservations in the State of Washington to issue a patent to each
of said Indians for the village or town lot occupied by him, which
patent shall contain restrictions against the alienation of the lot
described therein to persons other than members of the tribe,
except on approval of the Secretary of the Interior; and if any
such Indian shall die subsequent to June 25, 1910, and before
receiving patent to the lot occupied by him, the lot to which such
Indian would have been entitled if living shall be patented in his
name and shall be disposed of as provided for in section 372 of
this title.
