All land owned by Native corporations is private land.
Except as specifically noted, it is closed to public use, just like any other private land, unless the user obtains permission of the land owner. Certain lands, owned by Native corporations, are subject to specifically located easements, as described, in the atlas, that allow the public to use those identified Native corporation lands in limited ways. In addition, some of the lands conveyed to Native corporations are open to sport hunting and fishing and other recreational uses by the public. These lands are specifically identified on the maps. Even these lands are subject to such reasonable restrictions as may be imposed by the Native corporation landowners, for the purposes of limiting or prohibiting such public uses in the immediate vicinity of logging or other commercial operations.
