Head of ND tribe seeks more tribal control of land
Share Email Bookmark

The chairman of the Three Affiliated

Tribes has asked Congress to help the North Dakota tribe prevent

its land and resources from being treated as public property.

Tribal Chairman Tex Hall says authority over the land needs to

be returned to the tribal government.

Hall recently told the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs that

federal laws and policies continue to interfere with the tribe's

ability to use its resources.

Hall says the committee should propose legislation that would

allow the tribe to adapt to environmental changes and manage its

own resources.
