You can own property because this rez was opened to homesteading in 1912 or so. You will be able to buy from a non-tribal member but probably not from a tribal member (tribe has to ok - and that isn't happening). I think most of individual ownership is non-tribal. Jore Corp was started by Rick Jore's brother Matt (I think that was the brother) and run by him. I don't think Rick had a big ownership percentage and was not in the management (at least not on paper). If you reviewed f/s you would see everything was financed on credit and loans - hard to make it that way. Seems to be stable since the big bankruptcy and buy out --- just a lot smaller (at one time they employed 1200 - biggest employer in county).
