Indian Land

There is some land owned by a Indian family, who farmed it for years. The land was transfered to another owner, other than indian. Now before I can mow the property someone form the local indian tribe needs to be on the sight to watch me to be sure I don't do anything bad to the land. On another part a tractor can't be used any more, and the weeds need to be cut by hand. What a joke. I still get payed, but I need to schedule my work when it's fits the Indian rep. schedule. Stan
 
this raises more questions, first is this land part of a reservation? if so how can reservation land be sold off to begin with, if it is private land, but just owned by a family who happened to be native american it would be the same as any other land sale wouldnt it? the previous owner releases all rights to the property when its sold, if this is the case why does the tribe retain the right to supervise ?
 
You don"t really give enough info for any real advise. Do you get paid to "mow" and what are you mowing, just grass or mowing a hay field? If it"s just something you"ve been doing for pay or whatever and your now having to do it on someone elses schedule then sounds like you need to be getting paid more, even if you don"t mind doing it, just because of the hassel involved.

If you"ve got a "crop" on the land and money invested in it then you should some kind of something in writing allowing you the right to manage your "crop" when needed, not on somebody elses schedule, after all it"s not their crop. If not then you should have and now are just gonna have to suffer for not having anything in writing.

You don"t say how much has to be "weeded" by hand now but sounds to me like you just need to cut your losses and let the "Chief" in charge do it himself...
 
Why do you not just give the land back to the Indians, so that you and the rest of us are not bothered with it?
