The judgment relates to land ceded to the United States in 1863. The bill includes provisions for distributing funds to descendants of the Pembina Chippewa ancestry enrolled with tribal entities, as well as those not enrolled. The bill also addresses the protection of interests of minors and legal incompetents.
