This bill lets the U.S. Court of Federal Claims hear a Miami Tribe of Oklahoma land claim in Illinois based on an 1805 treaty, bypassing normal time limits. The tribe would have one year after passage to file, or the special permission expires. After that one claim, all other past, present, or future tribal land claims to Illinois land would be permanently extinguished.
The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, its members and descendants, current Illinois landowners, and the federal court system are affected.
The bill would resolve a long-standing historical land dispute while permanently closing off any further legal claims from the tribe over Illinois land.
