Buy-Back review at Tribal Council
Charles Jackson, of the
Office of the Special Trustee,
updated Tribal Council on
the Land Buy-Back Program
for Tribal Nations. The pro-
gram is wrapping up across
Indian Country, with a final
Buy-Back tribe being the
Wind River, Mr. Jackson said.
His report included a
break-down of the payouts to
all of the tribes that partici-
pated in the Buy-Back, in-
cluding Warm Springs.
According to the report,
Warm Springs had a relatively
low land Buy-Back rate. How-
ever, the Confederated
Tribes already have owner-

The Warm Springs Buy-
Back program included 192
individuals, with 766 identi-
fied as potential sellers. To-
tal payout was $826,654 for
the Buy-Back of 1,350
acres. More than $4 million
was available for the Warm
Springs program.
The Warm Springs Buy-
Back numbers are small
compared to some of the
other tribes, though circum-
stances are different for
other tribes, sometimes in-
cluding a patchwork reser-
vation structure of tribal
and individual ownership.
Umatilla is such a tribe.
For comparison with Warm
Springs the number of par-
ticipants in the Umatilla pro-
gram was about 1,500 mem-
bers with total payout of
more than $20 million, and
Buy-Back of almost 17,000
acres. Overall according to
the report:
Total Buy-Back for all
the participating tribes was
almost $3.5 billion, with the
Buy-Back of more than 2.5
million acres. The Buy-
Back Program has been part
of the Cobell lawsuit settle-
ment with the federal gov-
ernment.
