Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Project Lands Restoration Act
This bill transfers approximately 1,082.63 acres of land in Washington State to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, holding it in trust for their benefit. The land, depicted on a specific map and previously managed by Olympic National Park, becomes part of the Tribe's reservation and is exempt from standard federal valuation requirements. The bill explicitly prohibits this land from being considered "Indian lands" for gaming regulations under federal law. It also confirms the transfer does not affect the Tribe's existing treaty rights under the Treaty of Point No Point.
