Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Fact Sheet
-
Description
-
Fact sheet based on a socio-economic study of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde performed by the Consultants Northwest, Inc. of McMinnville, Oregon in 1982. The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde includes over 30 tribes from Oregon, California, and Washington. In the early 1850s, the United States forced these tribes off their lands, eventually establishing the Grand Ronde Reservation in Oregon in 1857. In 1954, Congress passed the Western Oregon Indian Termination Act, which ended federal recognition of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Beginning in the 1970s, tribal leaders began working to restore the tribe's federal status, lobbying Congress to first pass the Grand Ronde Restoration Act in 1983, which restored federal recognition, then the Grand Ronde Reservation Act in 1988, which restored a small part of the reservation. This fact sheet was probably prepared in 1983, as part of the tribe's work to lobby Congress for federal recognition. This document is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives.
