Tribal Land Trust

A Tribal Land Trust is a legal arrangement that holds land on behalf of a Native American tribe or its members, ensuring the land is protected, managed, and preserved for the community's use and cultural heritage. It helps secure land rights, prevents unlawful encroachments, and supports economic development and self-governance. Essentially, the trust acts as a guardian, managing land in the best interest of the tribe, while the tribe maintains ownership and sovereignty over the land.
