Unearthing Indian Land offers a comprehensive examination of the consequencesof more than a century of questionable public policies. In this book,Kristin Ruppel considers the complicated issues surrounding American Indianland ownership in the United States. Under the General Allotment Act of 1887, also known as the Dawes Act,individual Indians were issued title to land allotments while so-called ÒsurplusÓIndian lands were opened to non-Indian settlement. During the forty-seven yearsthat the act remained in effect, American Indians lost an estimated 90 millionacres of landÑabout two-thirds of the land they had held in 1887. Worse, theloss of control over the land left to them has remained an ongoing and insidiousresult. Unearthing Indian Land traces the complex legacies of allotment, includingnumerous instructive examples of a policy gone wrong. Aside from the initialcatastrophic land loss, the fractionated land ownership that resulted from theactÕs provisions has disrupted native families and their descendants for morethan a century. With each new generation, the owners of tribal lands grow innumber and therefore own ever smaller interests in parcels of land. It is not uncommonnow to find reservation allotments co-owned by hundreds of individuals.Coupled with the federal governmentÕs troubled trusteeship of Indian assets,this means that Indian landowners have very little control over their own lands. Illuminated by interviews with Native American landholders, this book isessential reading for anyone who is interested in what happened as a result of thefederal governmentÕs quasi-privatization of native lands.

In 1992, the General Accounting Office (GAO) published a quantitative survey of Indian land ownership of twelve reservations, which was the first and still is the only survey of Indian land ownership. We use 2010 data to show how ownership fractionation for these reservations has changed since the original GAO study. Fractionation is the continuing division of ownership of Indian land tracts due to inheritance laws dating back to 1887. Despite Congressional action regarding land fractionation, and the US Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA's) land consolidation programs, fractionation has not only continued, but BIA's complex recordkeeping workload has nearly doubled for the twelve reservations over the eighteen year interval. The GAO estimated that BIA's annual recordkeeping costs for these twelve reservations were between $60 and $75 million (in 2010 dollars). With the addition of over a million new ownership records, due to fractionation, we estimate BIA's yearly recordkeeping costs for these twelve reservations have increased to $246 million in 2010. We discuss how to end fractionation in order to improve economic development for Indian tribes and to achieve significant administrative cost savings.

This paper analyzes the economic consequences of property institutions. Federal land reform policy privatized American Indian reservation land in the 1880s. This reform intended to foster economic development on American Indian reservations by creating a system of individual private property. However, these new ownership rights were incomplete and accompanied by restrictions that have led to the fragmentation of land parcels into millions of shared ownership claims. Because land rights on Indian reservations do not include all of the sticks in the traditional property rights bundle, Indians face higher costs for real estate transactions. These additional costs preclude exchange and impede the productive use of reservation-land resources. Using data on Indian land ownership and agricultural leases in 2010, we provide the first quantitative evidence that incomplete property rights have worsened economic outcomes on Indian reservations. Our results show that increased ownership fractionation has reduced the incomes of American Indians on reservations and is associated with lower agricultural lease income, a measure of land productivity.
