The Indian Land Tenure Foundation (ILTF) is a community-based nonprofit organization focused on the recovery, management and control of American Indian lands by Indian people. We work with Indian people, Indian organizations, tribal communities, tribal governments and others connected to Indian land issues to achieve our mission.
Mission & Strategies
Our Mission
Land within the original boundaries of every reservation and other areas of high significance where tribes retain aboriginal interest are in Indian ownership and management.
Our Strategies
ILTF will achieve its mission through the support and development of community-based projects that incorporate one or more of our four primary strategies: Education, Cultural Awareness, Economic Opportunity and Legal Reform. MORE
History
ILTF originated in the 1990s when a group of concerned Indian landowners, land rights advocates, and tribal leaders came together to do something about the serious problems affecting Indian land tenure—the terms and conditions by which Indians hold land. MORE
