Federal Indian Minerals Office announces move to new Farmington location

FARMINGTON, N.M. - Federal Indian Minerals Office Director Micah Runnels announced the office has moved to a new location at 304 N. Auburn Avenue, Suite C, Farmington, New Mexico, 87401.

The Federal Indian Minerals Office provides Indian trust services to individual American Indian beneficiaries in the management of their oil and gas mineral resources. The office works with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration and the Bureau of Land Management under a memorandum of understanding to provide full customer service for Indian allotted mineral interests.
