A bill to provide for the equitable settlement of certain Indian land disputes regarding land in Illinois, and for other purposes.
This bill creates a one-year window for the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to file a land claim in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims regarding land in Illinois, based on their 1805 Treaty of Grouseland. The court gains special authority to hear this specific claim without considering time limits or delays. If the tribe does not file within one year, all other land claims by the tribe, its members, or descendants to Illinois land are permanently ended. The bill directly affects the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma's legal rights to land in Illinois under this historical treaty.
