As to any Indian cemetery lands required for the project, the
Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, in lieu of

he may select and acquire for the purpose, and to remove bodies,
markers, and other appurtenances to the new sites. All costs incurred in
connection with any such relocation shall be paid from moneys
appropriated for the project. All right, title, and interest of the
Indians in the lands within any cemetery so relocated shall terminate
and the grant of title under sections 835d to 835h of this title take
effect as of the date the Secretary of the Interior authorizes the
relocation. Sites of the relocated cemeteries shall be held in trust by
the United States for the Spokane or Colville Tribe, as the case may be,
and shall be nontaxable.
