Umatilla Lands Alotted In 1893 25 Year Restriction
The article explains a common misunderstanding about government rulings on Indian land sales. It states that while Umatilla lands were allotted in 1893 under a 25 year constraint, the interior department did not issue a perpetual ban on sales. Notices to agents to approve sales were issued, but this does not imply an endless prohibition. The rule applies to other agencies with longer allotments, while Umatilla lands may be sold by Indians who regain ownership after the 25 year period. The aim is to protect Indians from being forced to sell valuable lands at low prices and prevent fraud.
