For newly acquired lands to qualify as ”restored lands” for purposes of § 292.7, the tribe acquiring the lands must meet the requirements of paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section.
If the tribe was restored by a Congressional enactment of legislation recognizing, acknowledging, affirming, reaffirming, or restoring the government-to-government relationship between the United States and the tribe, the tribe must show that either:
The legislation requires or authorizes the Secretary to take land into trust for the benefit of the tribe within a specific geographic area and the lands are within the specific geographic area; or
If the legislation does not provide a specific geographic area for the restoration of lands, the tribe must meet the requirements of § 292.12.
If the tribe is acknowledged under § 83.8 of this chapter, it must show that it:
Meets the requirements of § 292.12; and
Does not already have an initial reservation proclaimed after October 17, 1988.
If the tribe was restored by a Federal court determination in which the United States is a party or by a court-approved settlement agreement entered into by the United States, it must meet the requirements of § 292.12.
