Tribal Trust Fund

A Tribal Trust Fund is a financial account managed by the U.S. government that holds revenue generated from tribal lands, resources, or assets belonging to tribal nations or individual Native Americans. The funds are held in trust to protect and support tribal economic development, community programs, and member needs. The government manages these assets to ensure they are used appropriately and remain protected for the benefit of the tribes or individuals, often serving as a way to secure resources and promote self-sufficiency for Native communities.
