AMENDMENT continued
from front page V ;
Kennedy, will attend the hear
ing with Kennedy providing
testimony. :;
Also attending will be Tribal
Council Vice Chair Reyn JLeno,
Tribal Council Secretary Jack
Giffen Jr. and Tribal Council
members Toby McClary, June
Sherer, Valorie Sheker and Kath
leen Tom. Tribal Attorney Rob
Greene also will make the trip.
When it was introduced, the
amendment received the unani
mous support of Oregon's Demo
cratic delegation, which includes
senators Ron Wyden and Jeff
Merkley and representatives
Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio
and Kurt Schrader. Rep. David
Wu also supported the amend
ment before his resignation from
Congress in 2011.
The amendment would end
the current two-step process that
requires the Grand Ronde Tribe
to take each piece of former res
ervation land into, trust with ap
proval from the Bureau pf Indian
Affairs and then request that it be
designated reservation land. The
amendment would allow the Tribe
to combine the process for property
that was within the boundaries of
the original reservation.
"The current process is time
consuming and often takes years
to complete," Greene said last year
about the request. "The amend
ment means a significant savings
of time and resources" to the Tribe
and federal government.
The Grand Ronde Tribe origi
nally had a more than 60,000-
acre reservation, but the federal
government's allotment and oth
.'V.er policies whittled away at that
land base until 1954's Western
Oregon Termination Act. The
Tribe was restored in 1983 and
the 1988 Grand Ronde Reserva-
tion Act, signed by President
Ronald Reagan, returned 9,811
acres of the original reservation
to the Tribe.
Because of federal regulations
that require the Bureau of Indi
an Affairs to consider the effect
on local governments resulting
from the removal of land from
tax rolls, the Tribe worked to
secure the support of Polk and
Yamhill county commissioners
in May and June 2010, respec
tively. Tribal leaders cited the fact
that the Grand Ronde Tribe off
sets any loss of tax revenue by
substantially reinvesting in the
community, which straddles the
county line between Polk and
Yamhill counties.
The Tribe constructed the $1
million West Valley Fire District
fire, stationron, Grand Ronde
Road, as well as was the lead
governmental agency in the $6.4
million reconstruction of Grand
Ronde Road, which made the
roadway safer for motorists and
pedestrians alike.
In recent years, the Tribe has
purchased several parcels of,
land in the Grand Ronde area
that used to be part of the origi
nal reservation.
Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii)
will chair the hearing on the
pending legislation in the Dirksen
Building in Washington, D.C. D
