Grand Ronde tribes call on Congress to help lift Oregon hunting and fishing restrictions

U.S. Senate bill would allow tribes to renegotiate the right to manage hunting and fishing on tribal lands
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde are working to lift state restrictions on tribal fishing and hunting imposed by a controversial agreement nearly 40 years ago.

Federal legislation backed by several members of Oregon’s congressional delegation would overturn a consent decree that tribal members say was forced upon them in the 1980s.
