Churches

Schools, Cemeteries, Churches

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Schools, Cemeteries, Churches (1): In Oklahoma there are schools provided for them. When a tribe cedes 160 acres to the United States, it will give it a school for ten years, and as much longer as it deems necessary. Also, the Indians may have their own cemeteries, schools, and churches, where the Indians belong to the tribes, and they are allowed lands therefor.660 In other States, under the general law, the money of Indian minors may be held in the treasury by the Secretary of the Interior and paid to parents and guardians in such sums and at such times as the Secretary in his discretion may determine.661 There is no doubt that out of those moneys, parents might pay for their children at private schools.662
