HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
1948 ACT
Based on sections 548 and 549 of title 18, and sections 212, 213,
215, 217, 218 of title 25, Indians, U.S. Code, 1940 ed. (R.S. Sec.
2142, 2143, 2144, 2145, 2146; Feb. 18, 1875, ch. 80, Sec. 1, 18
Stat. 318; Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, Sec. 328, 329, 35 Stat. 1151;
Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Sec. 291, 36 Stat. 1167; June 28, 1932, ch.
284, 47 Stat. 337).
This section consolidates numerous conflicting and inconsistent
provisions of law into a concise statement of the applicable law.
R.S. Sec. 2145, 2146 (U.S.C., title 25, Sec. 217, 218) extended
to the Indian country with notable exceptions the criminal laws of
the United States applicable to places within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States. Crimes of Indians against
Indians, and crimes punishable by tribal law were excluded.
The confusion was not lessened by the cases of U.S. v.
McBratney, 104 U.S. 622 and Draper v. U.S., 17 S.Ct. 107, holding
that crimes in Indian country by persons not Indians are not
cognizable by Federal courts in absence of reservation or cession
of exclusive jurisdiction applicable to places within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States. Because of numerous statutes
applicable only to Indians and prescribing punishment for crimes
committed by Indians against Indians, ''Indian country'' was
defined but once. (See act June 30, 1834, ch. 161, Sec. 1, 4, Stat.
729, which was later repealed.)
Definition is based on latest construction of the term by the
United States Supreme Court in U.S. v. McGowan, 58 S.Ct. 286, 302
U.S. 535, following U.S. v. Sandoval, 34 S.Ct. 1, 5, 231 U.S. 28,
46. (See also Donnelly v. U.S., 33 S.Ct. 449, 228 U.S. 243; and
Kills Plenty v. U.S., 133 F.2d 292, certiorari denied, 1943, 63
S.Ct. 1172). (See reviser's note under section 1153 of this title.)
Indian allotments were included in the definition on authority of
the case of U.S. v. Pelican, 1913, 34 S.Ct. 396, 232 U.S. 442, 58
L.Ed. 676.
1949 ACT
This section (section 25), by adding to section 1151 of title 18,
U.S.C., the phrase ''except as otherwise provided in sections 1154
and 1156 of this title'', incorporates in this section the
limitations of the term ''Indian country'' which are added to
sections 1154 and 1156 by sections 27 and 28 of this bill.

1949 - Act May 24, 1949, incorporated the limitations of term
''Indian country'' which are contained in sections 1154 and 1156 of
this title.

HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
1948 ACT
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 548, 549 (Mar. 4, 1909,
ch. 321, Sec. 328, 329, 35 Stat. 1151; Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Sec.
291, 36 Stat. 1167; June 28, 1932, ch. 284, 47 Stat. 337).
Section consolidates said sections 548 and 549 of title 18,
U.S.C., 1940 ed. Section 548 of said title covered 10 crimes.
Section 549 of said title covered the same except robbery and
incest.
The 1932 amendment of section 548 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
constituting the last paragraph of the section, is omitted and
section 549 of said title to which it applied likewise is omitted.
The revised section therefore suffices to cover prosecution of the
specific offenses committed on all reservations as intended by
Congress.
Words ''Indian country'' were substituted for language relating
to jurisdiction extending to reservations and rights-of-way, in
view of definitive section 1151 of this title.
Paul W. Hyatt, president, board of commissioners, Idaho State
Bar, recommended that said section 548 be considered with other
sections in title 25, Indians, U.S.C., 1940 ed., and revised to
insure certainty as to questions of jurisdiction, and punishment on
conviction. Insofar as the recommendation came within the scope of
this revision, it was followed.
The proviso in said section 548 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
which provided that rape should be defined in accordance with the
laws of the State in which the offense was committed, was changed
to include burglary so as to clarify the punishment for that
offense.
Venue provisions of said section 548 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940
ed., are incorporated in section 3242 of this title.
Section 549 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., conferred special
jurisdiction on the United States District Court for South Dakota
of all crimes of murder, manslaughter, rape, assault with intent to
kill, assault with a dangerous weapon, arson, burglary, and larceny
committed within the limits of any Indian reservation within the
State, whether by or against Indians or non-Indians. The Act of
February 2, 1903, 32 Stat. 793, from which said section 549 was
derived, accepted the cession by South Dakota of such jurisdiction.
The effect of revised sections 1151, 1152, and 1153 of this title
is to deprive the United States District Court for the District of
South Dakota of jurisdiction of offenses on Indian reservations
committed by non-Indians against non-Indians and to restore such
jurisdiction to the courts of the State of South Dakota as in other
States. This reflects the views of the United States attorney,
George Philip, of the district of South Dakota.
Minor changes were made in translation and phraseology.
1949 ACT
This section (section 26) removes an ambiguity in section 1153 of
title 18, U.S.C., by eliminating the provision that the crime of
rape in the Indian country is to be punished in accordance with the
law of the State where the offense was committed, leaving the
definition of the offense to be determined by State law, but
providing that punishment of rape of an Indian by an Indian is to
be by imprisonment at the discretion of the court. The offense of
rape, other than rape of an Indian by an Indian within the Indian
country, is covered by section 2031 of title 18, U.S.C., and the
offense of burglary by sections 1152 and 3242 of such title.
AMENDMENTS
1994 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ''kidnapping''
for ''kidnaping'' and inserted ''(as defined in section 1365 of
this title), an assault against an individual who has not attained
the age of 16 years'' after ''serious bodily injury''.
1988 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 100-690 substituted ''maiming, a
felony under chapter 109A, incest'' for '' 'maiming' and all that
follows through 'incest' '', thus clarifying execution of amendment
by Pub. L. 99-646 and Pub. L. 99-654 but resulting in no change in
text. See 1986 Amendment note below.
1986 - Pub. L. 99-646 and Pub. L. 99-654 which directed that
section be amended identically by substituting in first par. ''a
felony under chapter 109A,'' for ''rape, involuntary sodomy, carnal
knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age
of sixteen years, assault with intent to commit rape,'' and by
striking out in second and third pars. '', involuntary sodomy,''
was executed by making the substitution in subsec. (a) for ''rape,
involuntary sodomy, felonious sexual molestation of a minor, carnal
knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age
of sixteen years, assault with intent to commit rape,'' to reflect
the probable intent of Congress in view of prior amendment of this
section by Pub. L. 99-303, but amendment to second and third pars.
could not be executed because such pars. were struck out by Pub. L.
99-303.
Pub. L. 99-303 inserted section catchline which had been
eliminated by general amendment by section 1009 of Pub. L. 98-473,
designated first par. as subsec. (a) and inserted ''felonious
sexual molestation of a minor,'', struck out second par. which
provided that, as used in this section, the offenses of burglary,
involuntary sodomy, and incest be defined and punished in
accordance with the laws of the State in which such offense was
committed as are in force at the time of such offense, and struck
out third par. and restated the provisions thereof in a new subsec.
(b), substituting ''Any offense referred to in subsection (a) of
this section that is'' for ''In addition to the offenses of
burglary, involuntary sodomy, and incest, any other of the above
offenses which are''.
1984 - Pub. L. 98-473 amended section generally, inserting
offenses of maiming, involuntary sodomy and a felony committed
under section 661 of this title and striking out reference to
larceny in first par., and inserting '', involuntary sodomy,''
after ''burglary'' in third par.
1976 - Pub. L. 94-297 made changes in phraseology, added offense
of kidnapping to the enumerated list of offenses subjecting any
Indian to the same laws and penalties as all other persons, struck
out applicability to assault with a dangerous weapon and assault
resulting in serious bodily injury from paragraph covering the
offenses of burglary and incest only, and substituted paragraph,
relating to offenses in addition to offenses of burglary and
incest, for paragraph relating to offenses of rape and assault with
intent to commit rape.
1968 - Pub. L. 90-284 inserted offense of assault resulting in
serious bodily injury.
1966 - Pub. L. 89-707 inserted offenses of carnal knowledge and
assault with intent to commit rape, defined and proscribed the
punishment for assault with intent to commit rape in accordance
with the laws of the State in which the offense was committed, and
required assault with a dangerous weapon and incest to be defined
and punished in accordance with the laws of the State in which the
offense was committed.
1949 - Act May 24, 1949, struck out provision that the crime of
rape is to be punished in accordance with the law of the State
where the offense was committed and in lieu inserted provision
leaving punishment up to the discretion of the court.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF 1986 AMENDMENTS
Amendments by Pub. L. 99-646 and Pub. L. 99-654 effective,
respectively, 30 days after Nov. 10, 1986, and 30 days after Nov.

whatsoever to any Indian.
(c) The term ''Indian country'' as used in this section does not
include fee-patented lands in non-Indian communities or
rights-of-way through Indian reservations, and this section does
not apply to such lands or rights-of-way in the absence of a treaty
or statute extending the Indian liquor laws thereto.

reference to arraignment, was omitted as covered by rule 5 of the
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure; and the remainder of section
241 of said title was incorporated in section 1156 of this title.
Section 254 of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians, was omitted
as covered by this section and section 1156 of this title. That
section was enacted in 1934 and excluded from the Indian liquor
laws lands outside reservations where the land was no longer held
by Indians under a trust patent or a deed or patent containing
restrictions against alienation. Such enactment was prior to the
June 15, 1938, amendment of section 241 of title 25, U.S.C., 1940
ed., Indians, in which the term ''Indian country'' was defined as
including allotments where the title was held in trust by the
Government or where it was inalienable without the consent of the
United States. This provision, by implication, excluded cases where
there was no trust or restriction on alienation and thereby
achieved the same result as section 254 of title 25, U.S.C., 1940
ed., Indians. That amendment also repealed the act of Jan. 30,
1897, referred to in section 254 of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
Indians. Insofar as the reference in section 254 of said title to
''special Indian liquor laws'' included section 244 of title 25,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians, the definition of Indian country in
section 1151 of this title covers section 254 of title 25, U.S.C.,
1940 ed., Indians.
Words ''or agent'' were deleted as there have been no Indian
agents since 1908. See section 64 of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
Indians, and note thereunder.
Mandatory punishment provisions were rephrased in the alternative
and provision for commitment for nonpayment of fine was deleted.
This change was also recommended by United States District Judge T.
Blake Kennedy on the ground that, otherwise, section would be
practically meaningless since, in most cases, offenders cannot pay
a fine.
The exception of intoxicating liquor for scientific, sacramental,
medicinal or mechanical purposes was inserted for the same reason
that makes this exception appropriate to section 1262 of this
title.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
1949 ACT
Subsection (a) of this section (section 27(a)) substitutes
''Department of the Army'' for ''War Department'', in subsection
(b) of section 1154 of title 18, U.S.C., to conform to such

61 Stat. 501 (5 U.S.C., 1946 ed., Sec. 181-1)). Subsection (b) of

1154 in order to conform it and section 1156 more closely to the
laws relating to intoxicating liquor in the Indian country as they
have heretofore been construed.

dispensing of liquor in such areas.
The words ''upon conviction thereof'' were omitted as
