f you are a Chinook, Tillamook or Yamhella, I will your request an consideration. Sounds like a good idea. The Chinook and Tillamooks were flat out robbed: anthropology.pdx.edu So it was that Chinook Indian Country became Washington Territory, although legally, the Chinook never did cede their lands to the United States Government. Most of the country was ceded by treaty to the U.S. But not Chinook territory - no treaty, no cession, no purchase. npaihb.org; In 1875, Congress passed a law closing the Alsea Reservation, the southern part of the old Siletz reservation. Compensation was not provided in either instance. In 1887, the Dawes Act allowed for allotments to the Indians, which became the target of white settlers. Unallocated lands were declared "surplus" and passed into the public domain. Seems the Tillamook also lost land with no cession and no compensation as well. Would you like me to tell you how to contact them to tell them of your willingness to consider giving back your land? I don't think it would be right to toy with them if you're not serious though.
