Abstract
Land is one of the most important, valuable, and versatile assets in human endeavor. The ability of a party to own land enhances its opportunity for economic growth and wealth acquisition in many ways including through resource extraction, agricultural production, and as use for collateral to finance economic projects. Land also provides a physical place for people to exist momentarily or over time, the latter affording the opportunity for the development of cultural identity and the accumulation of a people’s history. The value of land, therefore, can be evaluated in many ways and its market value represents only a portion of its meaning to the people who inhabit it.
