That there is hereby granted to the United States, and its assigns, for use for cemetery and other governmental purposes, all right, title, and interest of the Crow Indians or their successors in interest to the tribal and allotted lands comprised within the said Custer Battle Field National Cemetery as set apart by Executive order of December 7, 1886.
