Fighting For Land Rights - post-journal.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information - Jamestown | Post-Journal: WASHINGTON - Seneca Nation President Robert Odawi Porter sees economic development becoming a little easier on native land if a new bill is passed by Congress.
Porter testified Tuesday in favor of the American Indian Empowerment Act of 2011, a bill in Congress designed to empower Indian nations and tribes to accept restricted fee tribal lands. The bill, H.R. 3532, would allow Indian tribes to voluntarily transfer tribal trust lands to federally protected restricted fee status. Tribal trust land is land to which the federal government holds legal title, but the beneficial interest remains with the tribe. Restricted fee land is land to which a tribe holds legal title, but it carries legal restrictions against alienation or encumbrance.
