Whereas, pursuant to authority contained in the Act of March 1, 1907 (34 Stat. 1015), the townsite of Blackfoot, Mont., was established on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, and,

Whereas, the departmental order dated February 6, 1911, authorized settlement and entry of the townsite of Blackfoot, Mont., within the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and there has been no active public demand for these lots for the past several years, and,

Whereas, the Blackfeet Tribal Council of the Blackfeet Tribe requests that the departmental order dated February 6, 1911, be revoked so far as it affects the therein described lands and further requests the said lands be restored to tribal ownership, which the Acting Assistant Area Director at the Billings Area Office and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended be granted.

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority contained in section 3 of the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984; 25 U.S.C. 463), I hereby find that the restoration to tribal ownership of the lands hereinafter described in this paragraph will be in the public interest, and the said lands are hereby restored to tribal ownership of the Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Mont., subject to any valid existing rights and the departmental order of February 6, 1911, is hereby revoked insofar as it affects the following described lands:
