Summary

If the Grand Portage National Monument is abandoned after it was created, the lands the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe and the Grand Portage Band of Chippewa Indians gave up will automatically go back to them, their successors, or assigns. The lands return as full ownership (fee simple) unless the United States already holds other lands in trust for the tribe or band, in which case the title goes to the United States to hold in trust for them.
