The Siletz are terminated, then restored
Siletz, Oregon
Public domain · Wikimedia Commons
Twenty-seven bands and tribes were marched onto a coastal reservation in the 1850s, most of its land was taken back within fifty years, and in 1954 Congress simply abolished the tribe's legal existence along with sixty others in western Oregon. The Siletz spent two decades fighting it and in 1977 became the second tribe in the country to win federal restoration, and the first in Oregon.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
