N.Y. Indian Law § 102: Allotment of lands

§ 102. Allotment of lands. The chiefs or headmen of the Saint Regis

nation of Indians in the county of Franklin, in council, shall allot and

set apart for any Indian or Indian family making application and not

possessing land, so much of the tribal lands as they shall deem

reasonable and just, and no tribal lands shall be appropriated by any

Indian to his own use, without such consent and allotment. The clerk

shall enter in a book, kept for that purpose, every allotment of tribal

lands, set apart for any Indian or Indian family, and the part thereof

from which such Indian or family may sell timber or trees or the part he

is permitted to clear for the purposes of cultivation.
