The meteorite belongs to whoever owns the land it is found on here in the
United States. The issue with Indian reservations are that they are
federally controlled so the meteorites cannot be used for commercial
purposes without permits which are unobtainable. I have been researching
properties for some time and found that a patented deed is the only type of
property here in the United States that carries unbreakable supreme
ownership rights. California has been trying for over a century to control
(tax) patented land but has lost every case in supreme court. Any
government will have to make a treaty with patented land owners otherwise
they have no control whatsoever over the land including taxation or
easements. I think Indian reservations should be patented!

Hello, Adam and All.. Does anyone know the legality of a Native American
being able to gather and sell meteorites found on a reservation?

Interesting about the focus being put onto Native American cultures and
the importance they place on meteorites. I am fortunate that my wife, who
is 50% Cherokee Native American, shares similar interests to this day.
She has never once complained about my fascination and spending on
artifacts, meteorites and other collectables. She recently joked about
collecting land. We will need it for the rock garden she has put together
while spending a great deal of time with the new and improved Team
LunarRock in the field.
Below is an image of my wife admiring a famous and controversial 800 pound
artifact that we purchased from the original finders and are storing among
other collectables. Some of you may recognize this artifact from a
"documentary" show dedicated a complete episode to the piece. I do not
agree with the show host's interpretations, felt the urge to rescue it
from his laboratory (studio) and purchased out from underneath them. Many
of these shows have no respect for such things and are more concerned with
shamelessly promoting themselves. I am onto a meteorite that weighs
several times the amount of this artifact, is located on private property
which is for sale and surrounded by lithic scatter meaning early man was
drawn to it. It will definitely be a pallet buster like this piece!
Link to an image of my wonderful wife and a recent acquisition:
