KATU 2 News story on Grand Ronde reservation restoration video recording

Description

A video featuring a KATU 2 news story recapping the history of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde's Restoration as a federally recognized tribe in 1983, followed by developments through 1987 as the tribe was working to regain previously held reservation lands. The news story points out how US Congressman Les AuCoin had helped to organize a local hearing at Grand Ronde elementary school for both tribal leaders to address their hopes for a reservation and for anti-reservation lumber mill leaders to express their concerns. An advocate for the tribe, Congressman AuCoin had sponsored H.R.3885, the Grand Ronde Restoration Act of 1983, and H.R.4143, the Grand Ronde Reservation Act of 1988, which restored a small portion of the reservation lands that the news story in the video was referring to.
This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording 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).
