Whereas no part of the land use district involved is under lease or permit to non-Indians, and
Whereas the Shoshone-Arapahoe Tribes of Indians of the Wind River Reservation require additional grazing lands to support their expanded livestock industry, and
Whereas the Superintendent of the Wind River Reservation and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended the restoration of the undisposed-of, ceded lands located within the aforesaid land use districts.
Now, therefore, by virtue of authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by section 5 of the act of July 27, 1939 (53 Stat. 1128-1130), I hereby find that restoration to tribal ownership of the lands described above, which are classified as
undisposed-of, ceded lands of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, and which total 14,177.73 acres more or less, will be in the tribal interest, and they are hereby restored to tribal ownership for the use and benefit of the Shoshone-Arapahoe Tribes of Indians of the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, and are added to and made a part of the existing Wind River Reservation, subject to any valid existing rights, and reserves. None of these lands are within any reclamation project.
WILLIAM E. WARNE,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
