Page "Indian Reorganization Act" Paragraph 11
from
Wikipedia
It did not restore to Indians land that had already been patented to individuals, but much land at the time was still unallotted or was allotted to an individual but still held in trust for that individual by the U. S. government.
Because the Act did not disturb existing private ownership of Indian reservation lands, it left reservations a checkerboard of tribal and fee land, which remains the case today.
