Section PRP.01.14 — Relinquishment Of Land Assignments

(a) A grantee may relinquish his or her land assignment in writing to another eligible tribal member or to the Tribe. Such relinquishment shall not be effective until accepted by the Tribal Council. The former grantee shall vacate the premises within sixty (60) days of when the relinquishment is accepted, unless the Tribal Council has granted use rights to the individual in another form, such as a lease.

(b) If a grantee relinquishes or otherwise loses his/her membership in the Tribe, then any land assignment that individual may have held automatically reverts back to the Tribe. The individual will have sixty (60) days to remove their personal belongings from the land assignment. Personal belongings that have not been removed within this time frame will be deemed abandoned and will be disposed of by the Tribe.
