Normally the Res is typically treated as a "Sovereign Nation" status. However, there are other restrictions at work as to subsurface rights on the Ute Res as it/s a strange situation with interspersed rights and subsurface claims. Of the four million acres in the reservation area, today only a portion is tribal land. Beginning in the 1890s (and continuing for more than a decade), Congress passed a series of laws requiring small parcels of land in the reservation be allotted to individual Natives and any surplus land be opened to the public domain. In August 1905, after allotments had been granted to the Native peoples, the unallotted land in the reservation was opened to homesteading and mineral claims. Because of the allotment process, land in the reservation is owned by a variety of private, public, and tribal entities. It makes things a big mess because everything is tied into access and shared drilling interests between Indian and non-Indian partnerships such as most of our leases. Been meeting with some of the partners today and so far nothing new.
