Sunshine on Owhi Lake always helps and the word is “resolution”. Mr. Roget gave me some similar words; determination, strength, perseverance, fortitude, devotion, energy and an extra good one, “gumption”. Good words to carry with us all year long.

Kelly Indian Land Tenure Foundation, a Brigadier General, WAARNG nonprofit corporation that recognized Commanding the need for a unified, comprehensive and efficient approach to estate planning in Indian Country. Estate planning gives Indian land owners the ability to reconsolidate and manage their land. The need is particularly pressing given the passage of the American Indian Probate Reform Act in November 2004 and the announcement in April 2005 that the Bureau of Indian Affairs would no longer be drafting or storing wills for tribal members. “That’s the void we’re trying to help fill,” said Douglas Nash, Director of the Institute, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe and an attorney with more than 30 years experience working with Indian law issues. “Our objective is to grow into a national program that directly impacts and reduces the fractionalization of Indian lands through education and the provision of estate planning services to tribal members and communities.” Minimum Bid: $100.00 minimum acceptable rate $6.00/AUM
