Title: Ceremonial copy of S. 2055, the Siletz Indian Reservation Act
Description: A ceremonial copy of S. 2055, the Siletz Indian Reservation Act. The act restored a reservation for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, which lost its reservation and tribal status in the Western Oregon Indian Termination Act of 1954. In 1977, after much lobbying to Congress, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz became the second tribe in the U.S. to have its federal status restored. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. See also PUA_MS147_67 for a letter from President Jimmy Carter to Representative Les AuCoin about the bill.
