What must be done to legally surrender Indian Lands for financing?

  1. Sell directly to another party

  2. Surrender land to the Majesty with assent of the majority of band

  3. Obtain permission from local government

  4. The lands cannot be legally surrendered for financing

The correct answer is: Surrender land to the Majesty with assent of the majority of band

Selling directly to another party (option A) is generally not an option for Indian Lands as these lands are held in trust by the government and can only be transfered through specific processes. The permission of the local government (option C) may be required in some cases, but it is not the main requirement for legally surrendering Indian Lands for financing. Option D is incorrect as Indian Lands can be legally surrendered for financing, as long as the proper steps and approvals are obtained.
