Status of Red Lake Tribal Indian Lands in Minnesota

AGENCIES: Bureau of Land Management, Interior; Bureau of Indian 
Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice identifying lands subject to Secretarial Order of 
Restoration of February 22, 1945.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 22, 1945, the Secretary of the Interior issued an 
Order restoring to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians of Minnesota 
(``Tribe'') certain lands that the Tribe had previously ceded to the 
United States for use by non-Indians. The lands restored to the Tribe 
by the 1945 Order are lands that were continuously held in trust by the 
United States since the cessions, that were never sold or otherwise 
disposed of, and for which the Tribe was never paid. This notice 
provides a partial list of the lands restored to the Tribe by the 1945 
Order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: W. Hord Tipton, State Director, 
Eastern States Office, or Walter Rewinski, Deputy State Director, 
Resources Planning, Use and Protection, Eastern States Office, Bureau 
of Land Management, 7450 Boston Boulevard, Springfield, Virginia 22153.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Nelson Act, Act of Jan. 14, 1889, ch. 
24, 25 Stat. 642, created and authorized a federal commission to 
negotiate a cession of lands in northern Minnesota from the Red Lake 
Band of Chippewa Indians of Minnesota (``Tribe'') to the United States. 
By agreement dated July 8, 1889, 2.9 million acres of land known as 
``Royce 706'' was ceded by the Tribe to the United States to be held in 
trust, subject to sale by the United States for the benefit of the 
Tribe. The Tribe retained a much smaller area known as ``Royce 707.''
    On March 10, 1902, another agreement was negotiated between the 
Tribe and the United States for the cession of an additional 256,152 
acres of land in the western portion of Royce 707. This agreement was 
approved by Congress. Act of Feb. 20, 1904, ch. 161, 33 Stat. 46. The 
Tribe's present-day reservation is composed of land remaining after the 
1889 and 1902 cessions. Consistent with the provisions of the Nelson 
Act, the lands the Tribe ceded to the United States were opened for 
timber sales and homesteading, and most of the lands were disposed of 
by the 1930s.
    The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (``IRA''), 25 U.S.C. 
Secs. 461 et seq., authorized the Secretary of the Interior, if he 
found it to be in the public interest, ``to restore to tribal ownership 
the remaining surplus lands of any Indian reservation [that prior to 
June 18, 1934 were] opened, or authorized to be opened, to sale, or any 
other form of disposal by Presidential proclamation, or by any of the 
public land laws of the United States[.]'' 25 U.S.C. Sec. 463(a).
    On February 22, 1945, exercising this authority granted by the IRA, 
the Secretary of the Interior issued an Order of Restoration (``1945 
Order''), 10 Fed. Reg. 2448 (1945). The 1945 Order ``restore[d] to 
tribal ownership all those lands of the Red Lake Indian Reservation 
which were ceded by the Indians under [the Nelson Act and the Act of 
Feb. 20, 1904] and which were opened for sale or entry but for which 
the Indians have not been paid and which now are or hereafter may be 
classified as undisposed of[.]'' 10 Fed. Reg. at 2449. See also Act of 
Dec. 4, 1942, ch. 673, 56 Stat. 1039 (``[A]ll right, title, and 
interest of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe in and to the so-called Red 
Lake Indian ceded lands, including any administrative reserves, is 
hereby declared extinguished and title thereto vested in the Red Lake 
Band of Chippewa Indians[.]'').
    On May 28, 1945, the Acting Commissioner of the General Land Office 
forwarded to the Commissioner of the Office of Indian Affairs a list of 
lands that satisfied the criteria of the 1945 Order and could be 
returned to the Band. On April 29, 1946 and January 9, 1947, amendments 
to the list of lands were made. The list of May 28, 1945 and the 
amendments of April 29, 1946 and January 9, 1947 (collectively, the 
``1945 List'') totaled approximately 157,499 acres of non-contiguous 
lands. The 1945 List was to have been published in the Federal Register 
to provide public notice of which lands were subject to the 1945 Order. 
However, shortly after the 1945 List was completed, several title and 
legal description problems with lands on it were discovered, and the 
1945 List was never published in the Federal Register.
    From 1945 until 1988, the Department attempted to resolve many of 
the vexing title and legal description problems with the lands on the 
1945 List. On December 22, 1988, the Acting State Director of the 
Eastern States Office, Bureau of Land Management (``BLM''), forwarded 
to the Bureau of Indian Affairs a comprehensive listing of lands 
totaling approximately 186,533 acres (``1988 List'') that the BLM had 
determined qualified for restoration to the Band under the 1945 Order. 
Many of the lands on the 1945 List were on the 1988 List. However, 
shortly after the 1988 List was completed, several further title and 
legal description problems were manifested and the 1988 List was never 
published in the Federal Register.
    In December, 1997, the Department initiated a review of the lands 
on the 1945 and 1988 Lists. The Department has determined that the 
following lands that were ceded by the Tribe to the United States in 
1889 and 1902, that were held in trust by the United States, subject to 
sale for the benefit of the Tribe, and that were not disposed of by the 
United States, were restored to the Tribe by the 1945 Order. This list 
does not represent a final list of all those lands restored to tribal 
ownership under the 1945 Order. Descriptions of any additional lands 
that were restored by the 1945 Order may be published as they are 
confirmed.
