Usal itself is a state park. In the mid 1980s the timber multinational, Georgia-Pacific, was in pursuit of logging coastal ancient redwoods in the Sinkyone area of northern California, and the California Department of Forestry (CDF) approved. In response, native people from the area, the International Indian Treaty Council, the Sierra Club and the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) in Eureka, California, sued. In 1985, the California Court of Appeal handed down its precedent-setting ruling for the Sinkyone people and the environmentalists, stating that the CDF had violated California's environmental laws. Further, the Court ruled that "the CDF's response - addressing sufficiency of measures to mitigate damages to Native American archaeo-logical sites-was inadequate." The InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council (ITSWC), a consortium of ten federally recognized tribes from northern California, was formed out of this legal battle. culturalsurvival.org
