The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) holds
11 million acres in trust for Native Americans. Money
from timber sales, agricultural and oil leases is
distributed under the Individual Indian Monies (IIM)
program. In addition to Individual Indian Monies, the
Office of Trust Funds Management administers Tribal
Trust Accounts. The Special Trustee for American Indians oversees annual payments of $450 million for 300,000 Native Americans, but the whereabouts of 47,000 Native Americans eligible for payment are unknown. Due to lost and inaccurate records - many lack a current address and social security number - you will likely not be contacted, so you should initiate a search. {Because the funds are held by an agency of the U.S. Federal government, your name will not appear in a state unclaimed property database search.} Note: recently settled litigation may significantly increase your entitlement. For a search the Office of Trust Funds Management Individual Indian Monies (IIM) Whereabouts Unknown database and to obtain recovery and claims information go to: Indian Trust Fund Search
