United States further agrees that it will appropriate and make avail-
able a further sum in the total amount of $5,160,000 which shall likewise 
be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of said 
Indian Tribe to draw interest on the principal thereof at the rate of 
4 per centum per annum until expended for the purpose of complete 
rehabilitation for all members of said Tribe who are residents of the 
Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation at the time of the passage of this 
Act, whether or not residing within the taking area of the Oahe Pro-
ject, and for relocating and reestablishing members of said Tribe 
who reside upon such lands conveyed to the United States to the 
extent that the economic, social, religious, and community life of all 
said Indians shall be restored to a condition not less advantageous to 
said Indians than the condition that the said Indians now are in: 
Provided, That said fund provided for in this section shall be expend-
ed upon the order and direction of the Tribal Council of said Tribe, 
with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, for the purposes 
set forth in this section: Provided further^ That the authorization 
contained in section XVI hereof shall remain available for a period 
not to exceed ten years from the effective date of this Act. 
SECTION VI. The United States agrees that all mineral rights of 
whatsoever nature at or below the surface within the taking area 
as described in Part I I hereof shall be and hereby are reserved to said 
Indian Tribe or individual owners or holders of lands or interests 
in lands as their interests may appear under section I hereof, subject 
to future extraction and use by said Tribe or said members thereof or 
their heirs, successors, or assigns, but also subject to all reasonable 
regulations which may be imposed by the Chief of Engineers, United 
States Army, for the protection and use by the United States of the 
taking area for the purposes of the Oahe Dam and Reservoir Project. 
SECTION VII. The members of the said Indian Tribe shall have the 
right without charge to cut and remove all timber and to salvage 
any portion of the improvements within said taking area either by 
demolition or removal, and the owners of the land whereon said 
improvements stand shall have a prior right to such salvage but if 
said right is waived or not exercised before the date of the notice 
provided for in section I X hereof, the Tribal Council shall have the 
right to designate others to demolish or remove said timber and 
improvements or in the discretion of the Tribal Council, said demoli-
tion or removal may be undertaken and carried out by said Tribal 
Council: Provided^ That the salvage permitted by this section shall 
not be construed as "double compensation" as set out in section 2 (b) 
(2) of Public Law 870, Eighty-first Congress. 
SECTION VIII. The United States and the Indian parties to this 
agreement recognize that a hazard to livestock is created by the rise 
and fall of the waters to be impounded in Oahe Reservoir. They also 
recognize that said hazard is not subject to exact determination at 
this time, therefore the parties to this agreement agree that all 
hazards which may develop when the annual rise and fall of Oahe 
Reservoir can reasonably be determined shall be met by the United 
States by such protective measures as may be necessary to minimize 
losses to the Indian parties hereto as to livestock only. 
SECTION IX. Members of said Indian Tribe now residing within 
the taking area of the project shall have the right without charge to 
remain on and use the lands hereby conveyed as said lands are now 
being used from and after the effective date of this Act to the point 
in time where the gates of Oahe Dam are to be closed for the impound-

PUBLIC LAW 776-SEPT. 3, 1954 
1193 
merit of the water of the Missouri River, 
The Chief of Engineers 
shall give public notice one year in advance of the prospective date 
of the closing of said gates for said purpose and all improvements of 
whatever nature, all timber of whatever kind or class shall be salvaged 
or removed or else shall be considered as abandoned by the Tribe or 
by the individual owners at a date six months subsequent to the date 
of the notice given by the Chief of Engineers. All individuals and 
personal property shall remove or be removed from the taking area 
before the expiration of the one year's notice given by the Chief of 
Engineers as aforesaid. 
And the United States shall not be liable 
for any loss of life or property not so removed from the taking area 
from and after the expiration of said notice. 
SECTION X. After the Oahe Dam gates are closed and the waters of 
the Missouri River impounded, the said Indian Tribe and the mem-
bers thereof shall have the right to graze stock on the land between 
the level of the reservoir and the taking line described in Part II 
hereof. 
The said Tribal Council and the members of said Indian 
Tribe shall have, without cost, the right of free access to the shore-
line of the reservoir including the right to hunt and fish in and on 
the aforesaid shoreline and reservoir, subject, however, to regulations 
governing the corresponding use by other citizens of the United 
States. 
SECTION XL The United States through the Department of the 
Interior shall render all aid and assistance to individual members of 
said Tribe whose lands are within the said taking area for the pur-
poses of purchasing land in the name of the United States for said 
individuals and the United States shall reconvey said lands under 
trust patent to the individual owners upon the selection by said owners 
of the land which they decide to have purchased for them. The said 
trust patents shall be in form and effect the same as corresponding 
trust patents heretofore issued to said individuals. The holders of 
exchange assignments within the said taking area shall be regarded as 
holders of trust patents and shall be accorded the same privileges and 
procedures as holders of land held in trust as in this section provided. 
The funds for the purchase of such substitute land in all cases shall 
be provided by the individual applying for such purchase and recon-
veyance as is herein described, out of monies placed to his credit for 
the transfer of his lands, improvements and timber under the authority 
of this agreement and the subsequent Act of Congress herein provided 
for but no service charge shall be made by the United States in addi-
tion to the cost of the substitute allotment. The lands so selected and 
purchased as substitute allotments may be either within the boundaries 
of the Cheyenne River Reservation as diminished by this agreement 
or outside said reservation as may meet the desires of the individuals 
involved in the several transactions: Provided^ That no purchase of 
lands outside the Cheyenne River Reservation shall affect the existing 
status of such lands, interests or rights therein, or improvements 
thereon, with respect to taxation. No prior Act of Congress or Depart-
mental regulation shall be held to be a bar to the full operation of this 
section, nor shall the Tribal Constitution, ordinance or resolution 
thereunder be held to be a bar to the full operation of this section, 
numbered XI. 
SECTION XII. No part of any expenditure made by the United 
States under any or all of the provisions of this agreement and the 
subsequent acts of ratification shall be charged as an offset or counter 
claim against any tribal claim which has arisen under any treaty, 
law, or executive order of the United States prior to the effective date 
of taking of said land as provided for in section I hereof and the 
payment of Sioux benefits as provided for in section 17 of the said 
Public notice.

SECTION XV. The right of any individual member of said Indian 
Tribe to reject the final appraisal made on his land and improvements
