1992. Buying Back the Land: Land Acquisition As a Means to Achieving Tribal Goals on the Puyallup Reservation | Puyallup Tribe
Abstract
"…In 1991, the Tribal Council of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians in Tacoma, Washington, identified five long-range goals for the Tribe. The first among these was a stated desire to buy back lands within the Reservtion which had been previously sold by the Tribe or lost through the pssage of the laws and policies of non-Indian governments. For this reson, combined with a requirement by the Land Claims Settlement Act of 1988, the Tribe's Land Use Director is developing a comprehensive land use plan. This report addresses the land acquisition component of the broader land use plan.
