Sec. 286. Sending child to school out of State without consent
No Indian child shall be sent from any Indian reservation to a
school beyond the State or Territory in which said reservation is
situated without the voluntary consent of the father or mother of such
child if either of them is living, and if neither of them is living
without the voluntary consent of the next of kin of such child. Such
consent shall be made before the agent of the reservation, and he shall
send to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs his certificate that such
consent has been voluntarily given before such child shall be removed
from such reservation. And it shall be unlawful for any Indian agent or
other employee of the Government to induce, or seek to induce, by
withholding rations or by other improper means, the parents or next of
kin of any Indian to consent to the removal of any Indian child beyond
the limits of any reservation.
