Lets Miami Tribe pursue one land claim, but ends all others in Illinois.
This bill would allow the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to bring a specific land claim from an 1805 treaty to a special federal court. They would have one year to file this claim, and the court would have to hear it without using certain legal time limits. This bill would end all past and future land claims by the Miami Tribe or its members in Illinois. The only exception would be the specific claim from the 1805 treaty, but only if the Tribe files it within that year.
Today, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma faces legal hurdles like time limits if they try to bring land claims in Illinois. This bill would change that by allowing them to bring one specific land claim from an 1805 treaty to a special court. This would override other existing laws about time limits. All other land claims by the Tribe or its members in Illinois would be ended, except for the specific claim if it is filed.
