Abstract: The Secretary of the Interior is authorized under 25 CFR 152; 70 Stat. 62; and 25 U.S.C. §5135 (Mortgages and deeds of trust by individual Indian owners; removal from trust or restricted status; application to Secretary) to provide individual Indians owning an individual tract of trust land the ability to mortgage their land for the purpose of home acquisition and construction, home improvements, and economic development. The BIA is required to review the trust mortgage application for conformity to statutes, policies, and regulations. Mortgage documents submitted to BIA from the lending institutions will assist BIA staff in their analysis to approve or disapprove a trust land mortgage application request.
