R E P O R T

[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the

hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights of the Con-
federated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and for other purposes, having

PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION
The purpose of H.R. 2839 is to amend the Siletz Reservation Act
to address the hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering
rights of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and for other
purposes.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
H.R. 2839 amends the Siletz Reservation Act 1 to provide a proc-
ess by which the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the
State of Oregon may negotiate, amend, or replace the current 1980
consent decree governing the tribe's hunting, fishing, trapping, and
animal gathering rights.
The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (Siletz tribe) is a con-
federation of more than 27 different tribes and bands of Indians
from throughout western Oregon. Beginning in 1856, the tribes and
bands were removed from their traditional lands to the 1.1 million
acres Siletz Coast Reservation established by Executive Order on
194 Stat. 1074.
