Sec. 593. Exchanges of allotted, restricted, and tribal lands
for Chippewa National Forest lands
Exchanges of Indian allotted, restricted, and tribal lands for lands
in the Chippewa National Forest are hereby authorized. In order to
consummate exchanges involving allotted and restricted Indian lands, the
Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized to accept relinquishments
or conveyances of Indian lands, which lands shall thereupon become a
part of the Chippewa National Forest, and to issue trust patents to the
Indians for the lands received by them in exchange: Provided, That with
the consent of the Indians involved title to the lands received in any
such exchange may be taken in the name of the tribe, in which case the
transfer of title shall be evidenced by an order of the Secretary of
Agriculture transferring the lands to the Secretary of the Interior in
trust for the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe: Provided further, That exchanges
involving tribal lands shall be made only with the consent of the
Indians and shall be evidenced by appropriate orders of transfer
executed by the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the
Interior: And provided further, That the land exchanges authorized
herein shall be made on the basis of lands of equal value, and no
exchange shall be made unless it is first approved by the Secretary of
Agriculture.
