Show full summary
  • The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe gains about 1,082.6 acres held in trust as part of the Reservation and that land is not subject to federal valuation, appraisal, or equalization rules.
  • A portion of the Elwha River within the transferred land is managed under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act with only necessary Elwha Act modifications to guide protections and restoration.
  • The Secretary of the Interior must conduct a boundary survey, may correct minor map or acreage errors, and can make small boundary adjustments to define the land.
  • The land is excluded from Indian Gaming Regulatory Act treatment so it cannot be used for tribal gaming, and the law preserves treaty rights under the Treaty of Point No Point.
