Sec. 2561.0-5  Definitions.

    As used in the regulations in this section.
    (a) The term substantially continuous use and occupancy contemplates 
the customary seasonality of use and occupancy by the applicant of any 
land used by him for his livelihood and well-being and that of his 
family. Such use and occupancy must be substantial actual possession and 
use of the land, at least potentially exclusive of others, and not 
merely intermittent use.
    (b) Allotment is an allocation to a Native of land of which he has 
made substantially continuous use and occupancy for a period of five 
years and which shall be deemed the homestead of the allottee and his 
heirs in perpetuity, and shall be inalienable and nontaxable except as 
otherwise provided by the Congress.
    (c) Allotment Act means the Act of May 17, 1906 (34 Stat. 197), as 
amended (48 U.S.C. 357, 357a, 357b).
