Section 56. Trees and timber on reservations

Except as provided by this
  section, no person shall cut, remove, cause to be removed or  assist  in
  removing  from  the  Allegany, Cattaraugus or Tonawanda reservations any
  wood, trees or timber thereon, nor shall any Indian sell or  dispose  of
  any  timber or trees on such reservations, or any manufacture therefrom;
  and every such sale or disposition shall be void. Except as provided  in
  this  section,  any  person who shall cut, remove or cause to be removed
  from any such reservations, or any Indian who shall sell or  dispose  of
  any  trees  or  timber  thereon,  or any manufacture therefrom, shall be
  liable to a penalty of twice the value of such property, recoverable for
  the benefit of the nation occupying the reservation. An Indian  residing
  on  the Allegany or Cattaraugus reservation, may sell or dispose of, for
  his own benefit, any trees or timber, or the manufacture thereof, on any
  wild lands allotted to or entered by him; and, upon obtaining  a  permit
  from the council, signed by the presiding officer and clerk thereof, may
  manufacture  shingles  or  staves  from  any trees or timber on any wild
  lands of the nation not allotted to or entered by any other Indian,  and
  may  dispose of the same for his own benefit. Any member of the Allegany
  or Cattaraugus reservation may sell logs from land  to  which  he  holds
  title. The council of the Seneca nation may sell or dispose of any trees
  or  timber on the wild lands of the Allegany or Cattaraugus reservation,
  and the proceeds of such sale or disposition shall be for the benefit of
  such nation.
    (a) Any member of the Tonawanda nation may cut timber on any  land  on
  the  Tonawanda  reservation  to which he holds title by allotment solely
  for the purposes of manufacture of shingles, lumber and boards  for  the
  construction,  erection  and  repair of buildings which such member owns
  situate upon said reservation and  for  firewood  for  himself  and  his
  family, and, upon obtaining a written permit, from the council of chiefs
  of  said  nation,  granted  only  by  resolution  thereof, signed by the
  presiding officer and clerk thereof, may cut timber only on such part of
  the common unallotted land of the  Tonawanda  reservation  and  in  such
  quantity  as  shall be specifically designated by such council of chiefs
  by such resolution and described in said permit, solely for the purposes
  of manufacture of shingles, lumber  and  boards  for  the  construction,
  erection  and  repair  of  buildings which such member owns situate upon
  such reservation, and for firewood for himself and his family. No person
  not a member of the Tonawanda nation shall be employed by any Indian  in
  cutting any timber on the Tonawanda reservation.
