§ 95. Allotment of lands. The chiefs or head men of the Tuscarora
nation of Indians in the county of Niagara, in council, shall allot and
set apart for any Indian or Indian family, making application and not
possessing land, so much of the tribal lands as they shall deem
reasonable and just; and no tribal lands shall be appropriated by any

Indian family, and of the part thereof from which such Indian or family
may sell timber and trees, and of the part he is permitted to clear for
the purposes of cultivation.
