Beyond the two chief administrators, one prince or leader from each of the nine and a half receiving tribes will participate in the land division process. These representatives ensure tribal interests are considered and that allocation reflects fair allocation principles.

This broader leadership team prevents any individual or small group from wielding excessive power over the inheritance distribution. The inclusion of tribal representatives invests each tribe in the fairness and legitimacy of the outcome.
