Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Project Lands Restoration Act
HR 2388 transfers approximately 1,082 acres of federal land (within Olympic National Park) into trust for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, adding it to their reservation in Washington State. The land will be managed under existing river protections, and the bill explicitly states this land cannot be used for tribal gaming under federal law. This act directly affects the tribe by expanding their reservation and clarifying land management rules, without altering treaty rights.
