United States
S. 550
A bill to provide for the equitable settlement of certain Indian land disputes regarding land in Illinois, and for other purposes.
The bill would give the U.S. Court of Federal Claims the authority to hear a land dispute claim by the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma based on an old treaty, requiring the court to decide the case without applying statutes of limitations or delay-based defenses, but only if the tribe files within one year. It would also extinguish all other current and future land claims the tribe has to Illinois property.[AI-Generated]
