U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1353. Indian allotments
The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil
action involving the right of any person, in whole or in part of
Indian blood or descent, to any allotment of land under any Act of
Congress or treaty.
The judgment in favor of any claimant to an allotment of land
shall have the same effect, when properly certified to the
Secretary of the Interior, as if such allotment had been allowed
and approved by him; but this provision shall not apply to any
lands held on or before December 21, 1911, by either of the Five
Civilized Tribes, the Osage Nation of Indians, nor to any of the
lands within the Quapaw Indian Agency.
