Few Indian families get conventional mortgages on reservations
The GAO reports 91 Indians nationwide obtained conventional mortgage loans for homes on tribal land between 1992 and 1996, with 80 going to two tribes in Washington and Wisconsin. Private federally guaranteed loans to Indians on trust land totalled 128 from 1983 to 1997. Low incomes, poor credit histories, and complex trust land status deter lenders, while housing shortages persist.

Clegg Hopes Trucked Cranes Replace Ultralight Migration
Kent Clegg proposes a five year experiment using 10 to 12 cranes trucked north and south to teach migratory orientation, aiming to raise cranes that migrate on their own. The plan follows three years of ultralight led migrations and leverages wild crane interaction to form a second migratory flock as a hedge against catastrophic loss.
