Trump signs Oregon Tribal
Economic Development Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A possible hurdle to the Grand Ronde Tribe
developing its privately held land has been removed.
President Donald Trump signed the Oregon Tribal Economic Develop-
ment Act on Friday, June 1.
The Senate approved the act on Nov. 30, 2017, and the House of Repre-
sentatives OK’d it on Wednesday, May 16.
The act allows five Oregon Native American Tribes, including the
Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, to purchase, sell, lease or convey
their interests in non-trust property without the approval of the federal
government. The bill does not apply to Tribal interests in property that
the federal government holds in trust.
The legislation is intended to allow the Oregon Tribes greater control
over transactions involving property.
The bill was submitted by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley on May 25, 2017.
Oregon Rep. Peter DeFazio introduced an identical bill in the House of
Representatives on July 13, 2017.
The Oregon Tribal Economic Development Act allows five Oregon Tribes
to forego that additional approval on privately held lands. In addition to
Grand Ronde, the act affects the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indi-
ans, the Siletz Tribe, the Warm Springs Tribe and the Cow Creek Band
of Umpqua Indians. 
