The '''Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations''' implements the [[land consolidation]] component of the ''[[Cobell v. Salazar]]'' Settlement, which provided $1.9 billion to purchase [[Checkerboarding (land)|fractional interests]] in trust or restricted land from willing sellers at fair market value. Consolidated interests are immediately restored to tribal trust ownership for uses benefiting the reservation community and tribal members. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.doi.gov/buybackprogram|title = Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations|date = 31 May 2015}}</ref>

There are approximately 243,000 owners of nearly three million fractional interests across Native Country who are eligible to participate in the Buy-Back Program. The Program has identified 105 locations where implementation will occur through mid-2021. In a Federal Register notice published in April 2017, the Program announced that new Departmental leadership is taking a fresh look at progress to date and strategies that would further maximize the consolidation of fractional interests, such as: further sharing of appraisals, focusing on land value, interest size (e.g., less than 25% ownership in a tract), and tract control; facilitating co-owner purchases; or revising the schedule of 105 locations (e.g., adding or removing locations and/or returning to locations that already received offers).
