7.07.190 Conversion of Rights Held Under a Right to Use and Occupancy Deed

(a) All rights arising under a right to use and occupancy deed duly entered into shall be convertible by the Tribal Clerk into an assignment upon declaration by the Tribal Council provided that, at the time of such conversion, all obligations then outstanding to the Tribe arising under the right to use and occupancy deed are satisfied in full.

(b) Upon such satisfaction and the mutual release of the right to use and occupancy deed by the tribal member and the Tribe, all rights arising under the same, pursuant to applicable tribal laws, regulations, or custom shall be deemed extinguished upon the recording of a certificate of assignment by the Tribal Clerk to the benefit of the tribal member who is a party to the same and thenceforth the provisions of this Land Assignment Ordinance shall exclusively control and determine the rights of the tribal member in and to that tract or parcel as described in both the superceded right to use and occupancy deed and in such superceding certificate of assignment.
