>*11 NATIONAL FORESTS: TRIBE ASKS TO TAKE OVER USFS LAND
> An Oregon Indian tribe is asking Congress for over 95,000
>acres of US Forest Service land in Oregon's Lane and Douglas
>counties as compensation for the loss of its former homelands.
> The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw
>Indians want to manage land in Siuslaw National Forest under a "land
>restoration plan aimed at achieving self-sufficiency,
>rejuvenating tribal culture and repairing the ecosystem."
> The tribe, which is the only recognized Oregon tribe that
>has not received compensation for lost homelands, would use the
>land to generate revenues and lessen its reliance on federal
>assistance. Dick Clarkson, tribal council spokesperson: "The
>main goal is to get self-sufficient. Tomorrow, they could cut us
>off completely."
> Under the plan, the land would be held in trust by the
>Interior Dept. and managed in accordance with the Northwest
>Forest Plan. The tribe would be allowed to obtain grants for
>watershed restoration projects to repair damage "done by decades
>of clearcutting." It also would be able to generate revenues
