The purpose of this research is to examine the use and impact of the 2012 Hearth Act in leasing tribal trust lands and the development of best practices. This Survey may be followed by additional interviews, surveys and/or webinars for the purpose of examining how tribes are using the Hearth Act and its impact on tribal sovereignty. This research aims to improve the understanding and use of the HEARTH ACT.
