Bill overview
This bill aims to resolve land disputes between the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and the state of Illinois, specifically regarding land guaranteed to the tribe in the 1805 Treaty of Grouseland. It establishes exclusive jurisdiction for the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to hear the tribe’s claim, ensuring a judgment without considering defenses based on time limitations. Furthermore, the bill extinguishes all other land claims by the tribe, except for the specific claim against the United States, and sets a one-year deadline for filing the claim.
