Whereas, under authority contained in the act of Congress approved May 29, 1908 (35 Stat. 460), providing for the disposition of surplus unallotted lands in the Cheyenne River Reservation, South Dakota, certain surplus lands were opened to settlement and entry under the general provisions of the homestead and townsite laws of the United States, by Presidential Proclamation of August 19, 1909 (36 Stat. 2500), and
Whereas, there are now remaining undisposed of on the opened portion of the Cheyenne River Reservation a number of tracts of said surplus lands which, while of little value for the original purpose of settlement and entry, upon thorough investigation, have been found to be valuable to the Indians of said reservation in order properly to support and develop their rapidly expanding cattle industry, and
Whereas, by relinquishment and cancellation of homestead entries an additional area of similar lands may hereafter be added to the class of undisposed-of surplus lands, and
Whereas, the Superintendent of the Cheyenne River Reservation, the Area Director and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended restoration to tribal ownership of all the undisposed-of surplus lands and interests in lands within the following described areas:
