Historical NoteReturn to Top
Following the restoration of Siletz tribal status in 1977, Siletz tribal members worked to secure a reservation. While Georgia-Pacific denied a request for land, the Bureau of Land Management agreed to transfer 3,630 acres. On November 1, 1979, Siletz residents voted in favor of transferring Government Hill to the CTSI and the bill for the reservation plan was signed by President Jimmy Carter on September 3, 1980. A formal transfer ceremony was convened on September 20, 1980 on Government Hill.
