Oregon tribe seeks to acquire ancestral territory from BLM
Posted: Thursday, March 21, 2013
The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians in Oregon are seeking to regain 14,500 acres of ancestral territory.
A draft proposal of the land transfer was released this week. A bill could be introduced in the 113th Congress.
"This is the first step towards righting an historic wrong," Chairman Bob Garcia said in a press release.
The lands are currently held by the Bureau of Land Management. They will be placed in trust, according to the draft proposal.
