Tribal Residency

Administered by: Yahcalo Ndigena National Government
Oversight: Tribal Land Trust Authority & Office of the National Chief

Program Overview:
The Tribal Residency Program (TR) is a cultural and community initiative that allows tribal citizens to live on Nation land, participate in community development, and honor ancestral and spiritual traditions.

Tribal Land License & Enrollment:

  • Each family is issued a Tribal Land License upon enrollment.

  • Initial Enrollment Fee: $500 (for the Tribal Land License)

  • Monthly Contribution: $175 (for ongoing community development)

  • All funds are used exclusively for communal purposes. No money goes into individual pockets or for profit.

13 Family Program Enrollment:

  • Development of community land begins when 13 families have enrolled.

  • Until 13 families enroll, no communal development occurs unless early development is approved by the Tribal Land Trust Authority and National Chief.

Community Development:
Funds from the program are used to develop and maintain essential infrastructure, including:

  • Residential plot fencing and communal areas

  • Septic and sanitation systems

  • Off-grid energy systems (solar, wind, etc.)

  • Water systems and storage

  • Community farming and food sovereignty programs

Housing Eligibility:
Participants may place one main home and one guest home on their assigned plot once utilities and permits are completed. Acceptable housing types include manufactured homes, tiny homes, earth bag homes, standard construction, and prefabricated homes.

Permanent Residency & Land Rights:
After completing the 3-year program:

  • Members gain permanent tribal residency.

  • Their section of land is reserved for them and their direct descendants, ensuring preservation for future generations.

  • Land remains under the Tribal Land Trust, tax-exempt, and cannot be sold or used for private profit.

Ongoing Benefits:
Families who continue contributions gain:

  • Access to additional land for family, farming, or cultural projects

  • Shared community resources (water, energy, infrastructure)

  • Priority in new village developments

  • Recognition as stewards of the Tribal Land Trust
