Q: I have rights to mineral land and Indian rights as well and I have no idea what to do
My mother was at least half Cherokee Indian and she was born in Menifee County Kentucky to A.R. in 1939. My half sister still lives on the land and she always refuses to give me any information
A: You would need to re-post your question under Kentucky since the property is located in Kentucky. The laws are different from state to state. Unless the land is tribal land and your mother was a registered member of the tribe or there is some special law in the State of Kentucky regarding Native Americans, Native American rights would not be the issue. You may have mineral rights as well as other property interest by inheritance.
