Posts - Bill - HR 2389 Quinault Indian Nation Land Transfer Act

house 03/26/2025 - 119th Congress

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.

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

Restoring land to the Quinault Nation is justice finally catching up—about time we honor treaties, not ignore them.

Land trusts are tricky; this bill plays it safe by banning gaming but skirts cleanup duties—good compromise or half-measure?

Another bill that feels less like sovereignty and more like a handout; next thing you know, they’ll want a blank check.

Turning over land without the gaming loophole? They’re giving back what’s theirs, not handing out casinos.

Giving land without fixing the mess? That’s just passing the buck—and our taxpayers foot the cleanup bill.

A 72-acre handover with strict rules—looks like balance, but will it truly empower the Quinault people?

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?
