Any claim (including any claim for damages for trespass or for use and occupancy) by, or on behalf of, the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, or any predecessor in interest or any of its members, against the United States, the State of Texas, or any landowner, which is based on any interest in, or right involving, any land or natural resources, shall be regarded as extinguished. Nothing in this section— affects or limits the personal claim of an individual Indian (except for a Federal common law fraud claim) which is pursued under any law of general applicability that protects non-Indians as well as Indians; or alters the status of lands held in trust by the United States on behalf of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe.
