General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
United States v. Paine Lumber Co., 206 U.S. 467 (1907)
United States v. Paine Lumber Company No. 101 Submitted April 15, 1907 Decided May 27, 1907 206 U.S. 467
IN ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
Syllabus
The title of Indians to land belonging to the tribe is more than the right of mere occupation, and although the actual title may be in the United States, it is held in trust for the Indian and the restraint on alienation should not be exaggerated.
Indian allottees under the Stockbridge and Munsie Treaty of 1856, 11 Stat. 663, and the Act of February 6, 1871, 16 Stat. 404, were vested with sufficient title in their allotment to authorize the cutting of timber, for sale and not by way of improvement, without the approval of the Department of the Interior.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
