====Trust relationship==== In ''Passamaquoddy'', supra, the First Circuit held that only Congress, and only with a clear statement, can terminate a federal–tribal trust relationship; acts of state governments are irrelevant. Congress has done so with several tribes under [[Indian termination policy]]. Since ''[[South Carolina v. Catawba Indian Tribe]]'' (1986) it has been understood that the Nonintercourse Act does not protect the lands of terminated tribes; there, the termination act was held to have triggered the state statute of limitations with respect to the land claim.<ref>''[[South Carolina v. Catawba Indian Tribe, Inc.]]'', 476 U.S. 498 (1986).</ref>
