Process and Development in Reservation Real Property Management
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Author(s): Jeff Crocker

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Division of Real Estate Services (Realty), Pacific Regional Office (PRO) in Sacramento manages all land held in trust for California Indian Tribes. Realty's primary function is managing title records as well as using this data to assist with the regulation and oversight of trust land natural resources. PRO needed to develop and deploy a working land management system that would support business needs and leverage partnerships with other federal agencies. Collaboration between the BIA and the Bureau of Land Management was critical in enabling the development of a GIS for real property management of Indian trust assets. This case study provides details into this partnership, focusing on the successful integration of BLM cadastral survey data into the BIA PRO's new enterprise GIS.
