Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would give important federal land back to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. This helps the Tribe by giving them more control over their own lands and supporting their culture. If you believe in helping Native American tribes get their historical lands back, this bill is a good step. It is moving quickly through Congress, so now is the time to pay attention.
