Not sure if property type should be have a designation as "Indian deed" - Hi Nitin - This is not a property type, but rather a document type. There were deeds and also Indian Deeds. The problem here is what to call the tribe's entity role. Were they the lessor? and DWIC the lessee? Or is this really a sale transaction. It is not clear.
