Settlement of Miami Tribe land disputes in Illinois.

This law aims to resolve a historical land dispute in Illinois stemming from the 1805 Treaty by allowing the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to file one specific claim in federal court. Importantly for citizens, liability for this claim rests solely with the United States government, protecting private landowners and other entities from potential lawsuits. After one year or upon filing the claim, all other historical claims by the Tribe to these lands will be legally extinguished.
