Indian Trust Land

Indian Trust Land refers to land that is held in trust by the U.S. government for Native American tribes or individual Native Americans. These lands are managed under federal laws to preserve the tribes' rights, culture, and resources. Although the tribes have certain rights to use and govern the land, the government maintains ownership and oversight to protect the land's resources and ensure it benefits the tribal members. Trust lands are vital for cultural preservation, economic development, and maintaining Native American heritage within the framework of federal trust responsibilities.
