Cherokee Nation Lands and Inheritance Act Amendment Summary
The document outlines amendments to the 1902 act governing Cherokee Nation lands and succession. It tightens land allotment rules, specifies inheritance by Cherokee citizens and, if none exist, to non citizens, and repeals several districts previously allocated. It sets appraisal and sale procedures for land, directs fund management under the Interior, and describes enforcement provisions for trespass and cattle introduction. It also discusses protective measures for allottees and outlines the framework for future ratification and elections.
