"Special for The Oregonian 'Forum'"
Title
"Special for The Oregonian 'Forum'"
Description
In a text written for publication in the Portland newspaper The Oregonian, Congressman Les AuCoin advocates for House Resolution 7259 of the 95th Congress (1977-1978), the Siletz Indian Tribe Restoration Act, which re-established federal tribal status for the Siletz Indians. AuCoin explained how the bill would not affect fishing and hunting rights, but would grant humanitarian aid eligibility. This is apparently the original typescript of an editorial that AuCoin submitted to The Oregonian, which may have been published in June 1977. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).
