Land and Natural Resource Rights
Kenah Consulting has experience in establishing tribes’ historic and cultural connections to lands and natural resources. This has included establishing the geographical connections and addressing jurisdictional issues required for putting land into trust, and resolving disputes over natural resource rights between Indian tribes and states or the federal government.

Kenah Consulting works with tribes and their legal teams to complete Land-into-Trust applications. We use an interdisciplinary approach to research, analyze and complete reports that support tribes’ geographic connections to the land, and jurisdictional relationships with the federal government.
