Quinault Indian Nation Land Transfer Act
HR 2389 transfers approximately 72 acres of land in Washington State, currently managed by the Forest Service, into federal trust for the Quinault Indian Nation. The land becomes part of the Quinault Indian Reservation and is administered by the Department of the Interior under standard trust rules. The bill explicitly prohibits the land from being used for tribal gaming and confirms it does not affect the tribe's existing treaty rights under the 1855 Treaty of Olympia. It also requires standard environmental disclosures for hazardous materials but does not mandate cleanup of any contaminants on the land.
