President Biden on Monday announced the launch of a new initiative to help Native Americans buy back their ancestral lands and to bolster private property ownership on tribal trust land.
The initiative, announced at the White House Tribal Nations Summit, would allow tribes to buy back land that was taken from them through forced sales or allotment and would provide financing for Native Americans who want to buy land on tribal trust land.
The initiative is part of the Biden administration’s broader efforts to address the legacy of racism and discrimination against Native Americans.
