Native Americans, Indians, are supposed to be the guardians of the land. So be it; be the guardian. Blanket yourself with information; effect change in the policies that are detrimental; defend the notion that our ancestors believed we would take care of the land. Read on for more information about some Native American Issues with regard to land, resources, agriculture and the fiduciary responsibility that is not being met. These are Native Issues.
WRITTEN BY A NATIVE AMERICAN LANDOWNER FOR NATIVE AMERICAN LANDOWNERS
It's been my experience that a lot of things happen out on the reservation agricultural fields; a lot more happens in the tribal fields than we are aware of! These activities on the reservation fields can be classed as one of many Native Issues.
A Native Issue can start with your lease, or your title, and go from there. You have to realize that there are a lot of operations in farming. To keep honest farmers honest, you have to keep on top of the game, which means informing yourself of all the Native Issues, all the procedures, all the people involved in farming on a reservation or beneficial use and protection of the land.
That means using your representatives to really represent you, and keeping the signature authorities (Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Special Trustee, and in some cases, your own Native American Tribe) aware of what your needs are. Your needs are everybody's needs, so if one of us Indians has been shorted, it's almost written in stone that we've all been shorted. When any one of us on an Indian Reservation gets shorted by a Policy or a short stroke of a pen, it becomes a Native Issue, because it could happen to any of us after the first occurance. Maybe it's not intentional, maybe it is. But until we all start looking into all of these Native Issues, together, we'll never know...
"Native Issues" was created to inform, educate, and empower Indian Land Owners about the multitude of truly unique Native Issues we are faced with when we own land on an American Indian Reservation.
