The Bureau of Indian Affairs will take 40 acres in trust for the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in Minnesota, according to a notice published in The Cloquet Pine Journal.

The land is located in St. Louis County. Officials there recently dropped their long-standing opposition to the tribe's land-into-trust efforts.

The BIA says the land will be taken into trust after 30 days. The notice does not appear to have been published in the Federal Register.
