It may seem a bit strange, but there is no law that give Indians land. They Native Americans were considered a soverign nation and treaties were entered into. Most of them were done without the full understanding or even a choice in the matter in the case of the Native Americans. In other words, most of them were signed pretty much at gunpoint and enforced in the same manner. Even today, Indian lands are not subject to many federal and state taxes, as well as the state laws. That is why many Indian tribes sponsor casinos, they are not subject to the limitations of state regulation.
