Native American Ownership and Governance of Natural Resources
Land ownership
Today, there are two major types of Native American land:
Trust land, in which the federal government holds legal title, but the beneficial interest remains with the individual or tribe. Trust lands held on behalf of individuals are known as allotments.
Fee land purchased by tribes, in which the tribe acquires legal title under specific statutory authority.
In general, most Native American lands are trust land. Approximately 56 million acres of land are held in trust by the United States for various Native American tribes and individuals.
