Original: Congress Approves Return of More Than 1,000 Acres to Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe
Congress has approved legislation returning more than 1,000 acres of land to the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe in Washington State. The transfer restores ancestral territory to the tribe, which has long sought formal recognition of its ties to the land around the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula. Local coverage in Clallam County highlights the decision as a significant step for tribal sovereignty and land restoration.
