Section 2 – Stepwise Path

  1. Step 2: Establish the Nimiipuu FRASS Account for Tribal Lands

  2. Step 3: FRASS Account for GNA/USFS Lands


Section 3 – Why This Matters

  • FRASS ensures financial sovereignty: the Tribe decides harvest timing, product mix, and enterprise growth.

  • Good Neighbor Authority guarantees:

    • USFS funds pay Larix, not the Tribe.

    • Timber receipts remain with the Tribe.

  • Positions the Nez Perce as leaders in co-managing Tribal + USFS forestlands.
