Summary

Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe-Dexter by the Sea Claim Settlement Act - Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to pay a specified amount to the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe of Washington to settle tribal claims regarding a previous transfer by the United States of certain lands within the Shoalwater Bay Reservation known as Dexter by the Sea. Extinguishes tribal claims of title to such lands. Ratifies the validity of a specific land transfer by the United States to George N. Brown, patentee.
