ILTF Town Hall: Economic Development on Alloted Lands
2023-01-24 19:00 | Virtual Event
Economic Development on Allotted Lands
The basics landowners should know to make their land more productive
There are many barriers in place that make it difficult for Indian landowners to use their lands to benefit their economic ambitions, but it’s not impossible to build a successful business on allotted lands. It’s important for landowners to understand the rules and regulations imposed by the federal government as well as Tribal nations.
Join the Indian Land Tenure Foundation (ILTF) for an Online Town Hall to discuss economic development on individual allotted lands. The town hall will be held at 7 p.m. Central time on Tuesday, Jan. 24. This session will discuss what the legal framework means for business and land transactions as well as taxes generated by economic activity.
There is no cost to take part in the town hall but participants do need to register in advance. Click here to register.

The National Indian Country Training Initiative of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is providing an online training opportunity called “A SANE Approach to Human Trafficking Cases” on January 30, 2023, from 2:00-4:00 PM ET.
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) are invaluable collaborative partners in a prosecutor’s response to human trafficking, as victims of sex and labor trafficking are at risk of short and long-term physical and psychological consequences. SANEs provide much-needed medical care as a part of a multidisciplinary team. SANEs collect evidence and provide critical insight into medical issues and survivor responses to trauma.
The online training will be co-presented by SANE and prosecutor subject-matter experts, and will focus on health risks, the content of a medical forensic examination, and documentation. The training is ideal for Tribal law enforcement, prosecutors, victim services, and health care professionals, including SANEs.
To register, use the SANE WebEx Online Training Registration Link and click “Register.” For questions, please contact Delores Johnson at delores.johnson@usdoj.gov, Heather Cumper at heather.cumper@usdoj.gov, or Leslie A. Hagen at leslie.hagen3@usdoj.gov.
