Document - Elwha Project Lands Transfer Testimony
Abstract
On behalf of the whitewater paddling community, American Whitewater writes to express our appreciation for holding a hearing on the legislation to take certain Federal land into trust for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (H.R. 8286). This legislation would take certain Federal land located in Washington State into trust for the benefit of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. The land is located in the aboriginal territory of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. Restoring these lands, which were taken from the Tribe for construction of the Elwha Hydroelectric Project, to the stewardship of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe is a long overdue moral imperative.Description
