August 17, 2020: Letter to Secretary of the Interior - Jurisdiction
Stand Up does not believe the Tejon Tribe meets the
requirement in the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (“IRA”) of being a “recognized Indian
tribe now under Federal jurisdiction,” as of 1934. Instead, the Tejon Indians residing on the
Tejon Ranch were under state jurisdiction in 1934 and, therefore, the Secretary of the Interior
lacks authority to acquire any land into trust for this applicant.
