Bill overview
This bill grants the U.S. Court of Federal Claims authority to resolve specific land disputes involving the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, stemming from the Treaty of Grouseland signed in 1805. The court can make a judgment without considering time limits or defenses related to delays. However, this authority is temporary, expiring one year after the bill’s enactment unless the Miami Tribe files a claim within that timeframe. Furthermore, the bill permanently extinguishes all other land claims the tribe may have to property in Illinois.
