Case Update
NARF continues to do legal work for the Hualapai Indian Tribe of Arizona. 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. NARF is assisting the Tribe in the transfer of the Cholla Canyon Ranch lands from fee status to be held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Tribe. The application for the transfer of the lands at Cholla Canyon Ranch was filed on November 2, 2009. The BIA acknowledged receipt of the Application on March 18, 2010 and forwarded official notification of the Application to the State of Arizona and Mohave County; requesting comments and specific information concerning the potential impact of the transfer. A Preliminary Title Opinion on the land has been requested from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Regional Solicitor. NARF provided a briefing for the Hualapai Tribal Council on April 10, 2010 concerning the status of the Application and the remaining steps to be completed to secure the transfer of the lands
