Title: Speech on the Tribal Status of the Siletz Indians before Congressional Committees
Description: In a speech before the Subcommittee on Indian Affairs and Public Lands of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, Congressman Les AuCoin advocates for his proposed bill, House Resolution 7259 of the 95th Congress (1977-1978), the Siletz Indian Tribe Restoration Act, which re-established federal tribal status to the Siletz Indians. AuCoin explained how the bill would not affect fishing and hunting rights, but would instead grant humanitarian aid eligibility and federally recognize the Siletz Indians as an entity. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).
