H.R. 2388 — Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Project Lands Restoration Act
What it does
This bill transfers approximately 1,082.63 acres of federal land in Olympic National Park to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe in Washington state, placing it in trust for the tribe's benefit and making it part of their reservation. The tribe gains management authority over the land, including a portion of the Elwha River, but cannot use it for gaming under federal Indian gaming law, and the transfer does not affect existing treaty rights.
