Lytton Rancheria Land Reaffirmation

The bill specifies that:

• The Lytton Rancheria is subject to the provisions of the Indian Reorganization Act.
• This allows the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land for the Lytton Rancheria and take it into trust.

Land Trust Status

Any land taken into trust for the Lytton Rancheria will be:

• Considered part of the Lytton Rancheria’s reservation.
