§ 9. Residence of other Indians on tribal lands. The chiefs, head men
or councilors of any nation, tribe or band of Indians other than the
Seneca nation, in council assembled, may, by a majority vote, grant a
written permit to any Indian not a member of such nation, tribe or band,
to reside upon the tribal lands thereof, and may limit the time and
regulate the terms upon which any Indians, not members of such nation,
tribe or band, may settle or reside upon such tribal lands. The permit
shall describe the boundaries of the land permitted to be occupied, the
length of time and the terms upon which such Indian may reside upon such
land, and shall be signed by the presiding officer and the secretary or
clerk of the council. The council of the Seneca nation may admit an
Indian of any other nation, tribe or band, to become an inhabitant of
their reservations and to enjoy the same privileges with them. All
leases, contracts and agreements, not authorized by this chapter,
whereby any Indians not members of such nation, tribe or band, shall be
permitted to reside on the tribal lands of such nation, tribe or band
shall be void; and the Indians illegally occupying such lands shall be
liable to removal as intruders.
