Indianz.Com > Tribes slam Trump administration for adding hurdles to land-into-trust process: “We’re talking about doubling the burden on tribes in an already burdensome process," said Yavapai-Apache Nation Vice Chair Larry Jackson, Sr., who noted that his people's once broad land base has been whittled down to about 1,850 acres in Arizona. "It's about creating a burden on the tribal nations."
Brian Cladoosby, the outgoing president of the National Congress of American Indians, was equally critical. He said the proposal goes against the intent of the Indian Reorganization Act, the law passed by Congress in 1934 to reverse the disastrous effects of the allotment era, during which tribes lost 90 million acres of their territories.
