Hualapai Tribe Constitutional Issues and Proposed Agricultural Lease
Attorney: Don Wharton

Case Update

NARF represents the Hualapai Indian Tribe of Arizona in preparing and submitting four applications for the transfer of 8 parcels of land owned in fee by the Tribe into trust status. The Tribe is located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and claims a boundary that runs to the center of the Colorado River. In addition. NARF assisted the Tribe with the transfer of lands gifted to the Tribe at Cholla Canyon Ranch. Because there were title concerns, NARF prepared a trust which the Tribe adopted and into which the lands were transferred. We also assist the Tribe with work as assigned from time to time, most recently related to the development of a local water supply.
