 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This bill confers jurisdiction to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma's land claim arising under the Treaty of Grouseland. The court may hear, determine, and render judgement on this land claim without regard to the statute of limitations and delay-based defenses. The United States is the only entity liable for such a claim. This jurisdiction expires unless such a claim is filed within one year.

All other claims of the tribe, including claims to title arising under the Treaty of Grouseland and the Northwest Ordinance, are extinguished.
