SUBCHAPTER III—JURISDICTION OVER
CRIMINAL AND CIVIL ACTIONS
§ 1321. Assumption by State of criminal jurisdic-
tion

(1) In general
The consent of the United States is hereby
given to any State not having jurisdiction
over
criminal
offenses
committed
by
or
against Indians in the areas of Indian country
situated within such State to assume, with the
consent of the Indian tribe occupying the par-
ticular Indian country or part thereof which
could be affected by such assumption, such
measure of jurisdiction over any or all of such
offenses committed within such Indian coun-
try or any part thereof as may be determined
by such State to the same extent that such
State has jurisdiction over any such offense
committed elsewhere within the State, and
the criminal laws of such State shall have the
same force and effect within such Indian coun-
try or part thereof as they have elsewhere
within that State.
(2) Concurrent jurisdiction
At the request of an Indian tribe, and after
consultation with and consent by the Attor-
ney General, the United States shall accept
concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute violations
of sections 1152 and 1153 of title 18 within the

(b) Alienation, encumbrance, taxation, and use of
property; hunting, trapping, or fishing
Nothing in this section shall authorize the
alienation, encumbrance, or taxation of any real
or personal property, including water rights, be-
longing to any Indian or any Indian tribe, band,
or community that is held in trust by the
United States or is subject to a restriction
against alienation imposed by the United
States; or shall authorize regulation of the use
of such property in a manner inconsistent with
any Federal treaty, agreement, or statute or
with any regulation made pursuant thereto; or
shall deprive any Indian or any Indian tribe,
band, or community of any right, privilege, or
immunity afforded under Federal treaty, agree-
ment, or statute with respect to hunting, trap-
ping, or fishing or the control, licensing, or reg-
ulation thereof.

Editorial Notes
AMENDMENTS
2010—Pub. L. 111–211 substituted ‘‘Assumption by
State of criminal jurisdiction’’ for ‘‘Assumption by
State’’ in section catchline, inserted subsec. (a) head-
ing, inserted par. (1) designation and heading, and
added par. (2). Amendment to section catchline was ex-
ecuted as the probable intent of Congress, notwith-
standing directory language which erroneously di-
rected the amendment to subsec. (a).
§ 1322. Assumption by State of civil jurisdiction
(a) Consent of United States; force and effect of
civil laws
The consent of the United States is hereby
given to any State not having jurisdiction over
civil causes of action between Indians or to
which Indians are parties which arise in the
areas of Indian country situated within such
State to assume, with the consent of the tribe
occupying the particular Indian country or part
thereof which would be affected by such assump-
tion, such measure of jurisdiction over any or
all such civil causes of action arising within
such Indian country or any part thereof as may
be determined by such State to the same extent
that such State has jurisdiction over other civil
causes of action, and those civil laws of such
State that are of general application to private
persons or private property shall have the same
force and effect within such Indian country or
part thereof as they have elsewhere within that
State.
(b) Alienation, encumbrance, taxation, use, and
probate of property
Nothing in this section shall authorize the
alienation, encumbrance, or taxation of any real
or personal property, including water rights, be-
longing to any Indian or any Indian tribe, band,
or community that is held in trust by the
United States or is subject to a restriction
against alienation imposed by the United
States; or shall authorize regulation of the use
of such property in a manner inconsistent with
any Federal treaty, agreement, or statute, or
with any regulation made pursuant thereto; or
shall confer jurisdiction upon the State to adju-
dicate, in probate proceedings or otherwise, the
ownership or right to possession of such prop-
erty or any interest therein.

toms
Any tribal ordinance or custom heretofore or
hereafter adopted by an Indian tribe, band, or
