A bill to provide for the equitable settlement of certain Indian land disputes regarding land in Illinois, and for other purposes.

This bill (S 550) establishes 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 the 1805 Treaty of Grouseland. The court would hear this claim without considering standard time limits or delay-based defenses. All other land claims by the tribe, its members, or descendants to Illinois land would be permanently ended by this bill. The measure directly affects the Miami Tribe's legal standing regarding Illinois land disputes and removes all other potential claims.
