- Description:
- The document is a bill introduced in the House of Representatives in 1971, authorizing the purchase, sale, and exchange of certain lands on the Kalispel Indian Reservation in Washington. The purpose is to consolidate land ownership within the reservation, address issues of Indian heirship, and facilitate economic land use. The Secretary of the Interior is given authority to carry out these actions, subject to approval by the Kalispel Indian Community. Funds received from land sales are to be used for land consolidation purposes. The bill also allows for encumbrance of tribal land by mortgage or deed of trust, subject to foreclosure or sale according to Washington state laws.
