Land buy-back program starts
The Warm Springs land
buy-back program is a ser-
vice assisting in the consoli-
dation of fractionated prop-
erty interests on the reser-
vation.
The buy-back program
implements the land consoli-
dation component of the
Cobell Settlement.
Purchases are made only
from willing sellers at fair
market value.
Consolidated interests
are immediately restored to
tribal trust ownership for
Tribal members are in-
vited to a meeting on
wills, and a review
of the tribal funeral
agreement.
The
meeting is scheduled
for 6-9 p.m., Wednes-
day, November 15 at
the Agency Longhouse.
uses benefiting the reserva-
tion community and tribal
members. There are many
benefits of the program:
Returning fractionated
lands to tribes in trust has po-
tential to improve tribal com-
munity resources by increas-
ing home site locations, im-
proving transportation
routes, spurring economic
development, easing ap-
proval for infrastructure and
community projects, and pre-
serving traditional cultural or
ceremonial sites.
Fractionated interests in
property make development
or improvements difficult,
because of the number of
people with an interest.
The land buy-back pro-
gram would give fair market
value to each individual who
has an interest in an allot-
ment, plus $75.
The coordinator of the
Warm Springs land buy-back
program is Randy Scott. You
can reach him at the Media
Center.
