    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Interior Department, has issued an amended order to manage certain public lands in Alaska. Originally set by Public Land Order (PLO) 7899 on January 19, 2021, the lands will now remain closed until April 19, 2021, to allow for orderly administration. On that date, the lands will be open for activities such as mining and leasing, following federal land laws and procedures. Any breaches of these conditions before this date will not be recognized by the United States government.

    Simple Explanation

    In Alaska, some special lands are staying closed a little longer until April 19, 2021, so things are better organized before people can start using them for activities like digging for minerals. The people in charge made this rule to make sure everything is fair and follows the laws.

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has approved the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma's Residential Leasing Ordinance under the HEARTH Act. This approval permits the Tribe to enter into residential leases without needing further BIA consent, promoting greater autonomy in managing their lands. The HEARTH Act allows Tribes to manage leases more flexibly for up to 75 years, aligning with federal regulations and supporting tribal self-determination and economic development. Federal and Tribal interests are protected against state and local taxes on lease activities, which can instead be subjected to tribal taxes.

    Simple Explanation

    The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma can now make rules about renting houses on their land without asking the government each time, which helps them manage their land more freely and keep the money from rent to help their community.
