On the recordSeptember 10, 1996
H.R. 2710, the proposed Hoopa Valley Reservation South Boundary Adjustment Act, introduced by our colleague, the gentleman from California [Mr. Riggs], would convey approximately 2,641 acres of land to the Hoopa Valley Tribe of California. The land to be transferred is presently part of the Six Rivers National Forest and has been fully timbered pursuant to the Forest Service timber sales. I note that these lands to be conveyed by H.R. 2710 contain the graves of the Tish-Tan-a-Tang band of Hoopa Indians and are currently used by the tribe for hunting, fishing, food gathering, and ceremonial purposes. H.R. 2710 would eliminate a longstanding alternation of the originally intended boundary of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. Mr. Speaker, this is a fair and just bill and I urge my colleagues to support it.
