  • Nearly half a century after losing their right to hunt, fish, and gather on their ancestral lands, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians have just regained it.

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians have regained their subsistence rights on their ancestral territory after a 45-year struggle, as announced on March 20, 2025. This historic agreement allows tribal members to hunt, fish, trap, and gather for personal use on 6.1 million acres of land in Western Oregon, reversing the impacts of the Termination Era when the tribe was stripped of federal recognition and rights in 1954. The restoration of these rights was facilitated by a Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, marking a significant step towards rectifying historical injustices and supporting the tribe's cultural and economic revitalization.
