Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** the indian land tenure foundation is a nonprofit organization that has worked on the recovery of reservation lands lost to indian ownership through the allotment process and other discriminatory takings and policies. Iltf has A20-year history of providing information and complex technical support to native nations and individual indian landowners focused on management and control of their land assets, much of which is agricultural. Iltf works collaboratively with over 30 federally recognized tribal extension program personnel scattered across multiple states.iltf has developed a number of ways to work with indian farmers and ranchers, including publications specifically aimed at increasing consolidation of land interests, annually holding 20-25 on- reservation landowner workshops focused on land management issues, assisting native nations in development agriculture resource management plans and providing estate planning legal services to use tools available to pass assets to heirs without further fractionation. This project will allow iltf to bolster and expand its work with socially disadvantaged indian agricultural producers. To date, iltf has been able to piece together specific funding for this work, but often IT is limited to either a confined geography, just one type of assistance which iltf provides, or much too short a duration.
