This might be okay if any of these positions had existed at all in the last decade... (Okay, I don't actually know when these positions stopped existing; the rules were last updated in 1984.)

R.R.S. Neb. § 42-403
I confess that I went out looking for an old looking law this time around. This section comes immediately after a section that goes out of its way (in 1913-era legalese) to make sure that kids aren't illegitimate even though we don't like marriage customs that don't involve paperwork. And maybe a minister.
Marriages and divorces consummated on or after April 8, 1913, among such Indians, or among their descendants, according to Indian custom, are hereby declared to be unlawful and shall be punished as hereinafter provided.

D.C. Code § 38-407
Because it is so clear just what parcels of land this refers to... (This is so old that it doesn't have a Public Law citation. Wow.)
That parcel of land marked and designated upon the map of the City of Washington as part of lot No. 11, in square No. 141, beginning at the northwest corner of said lot, and running thence due south on the west line of said square, 50 feet; thence due east, 30 feet; thence due north, 50 feet; thence due west on the north line of said square, to the point of beginning, and also that piece of land marked and designated upon said map as a public reservation, located between 8th and 9th Streets and K Street and Virginia Avenue Southeast, known as the Anacostia engine house, together with the buildings and improvements thereon, are severally set apart and appropriated for the use of the public schools in the City of Washington, so long as they shall be occupied for that purpose, and no longer.

Subtitle XI. Miscellaneous Education Provisions
