We are working to transfer approximately 72 acres of land in Washington into trust status for the Quinault Indian Nation, making it part of their reservation while ensuring it is managed responsibly and gaming is prohibited on this land. This effort supports tribal sovereignty and respects existing treaty rights.

It’s a small slice of land with big symbolism—hope Congress remembers deeds speak louder than words this time.

No gaming allowed? Fine, but why should taxpayers keep handing over prime real estate with strings attached?

Trust land means trust in tribal sovereignty—this bill doesn’t just transfer acres, it transfers respect.
