Bill for Land Exchange and Development on the Kalispel Indian Reservation, 1971-03-11

The document discusses bills H.R. 5950 and H.R. 8381, which authorize the purchase, sale, and exchange of lands on the Kalispel Indian Reservation to aid in land consolidation and development. The Department recommends amendments to allow sales to tribal members or Indians with fractionated interests and to permit encumbrances on mortgaged lands. The bills aim to consolidate land ownership, alleviate issues of heirship, and assist in leasing and disposition of tribal lands.
