Sec. 409a. Sale of restricted lands; reinvestment in other
restricted lands
Whenever any nontaxable land of a restricted Indian of the Five
Civilized Tribes or of any other Indian tribe is sold to any State,
county, or municipality for public-improvement purposes, or is acquired,
under existing law, by any State, county, or municipality by
condemnation or other proceedings for such public purposes, or is sold
under existing law to any other person or corporation for other
purposes, the money received for said land may, in the discretion and
with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, be reinvested in
other lands selected by said Indian, and such land so selected and
purchased shall be restricted as to alienation, lease, or incumbrance,
and nontaxable in the same quantity and upon the same terms and
conditions as the nontaxable lands from which the reinvested funds were
derived, and such restrictions shall appear in the conveyance.
