"The Siletz Tribe was stripped of their land and status in 1954 through the Western Oregon Termination Act."

"H.R. 2839 is about fairness. Siletz Tribal members should be able to hunt, fish, trap, and gather like they have traditionally done for thousands of years."

"The Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians should be able to hunt, fish, and gather on their ancestral lands, just like all the other tribes."

"This restriction is called a consent decree. It is an unjust and racist policy that I believe needs to be changed immediately."
