A quiet campaign is underway to hand two federal wildlife refuges into tribal ownership — and many residents are only now realizing what could be lost forever
The commissioners and Health Officer Berry did not reply to yesterday's email asking if it's standard practice to mischaracterize their constituents' concerns to portray them as "hating" poor people or just wanting homeless residents to "die on the street." Here is today's email sent to the commissioners:
Commissioners,
I am writing to once again ask about the status of the reported request from the Jamestown Tribe for Clallam County to submit a letter of support to the federal government regarding the proposed transfer of public federal land into tribal trust status.
Has the Board discussed whether it intends to write such a letter, either publicly or privately? If so, what is the current status?
I would also like to ask whether the Commissioners would consider writing a separate letter on behalf of county residents supporting the continued public ownership of these lands and keeping them in the federal public domain for all Americans to access and enjoy.
These questions have been raised repeatedly by members of the public, yet there has been no direct response from the Board. Given the magnitude and permanence of transferring public lands into trust status, many residents believe the public deserves transparency and a clear explanation of where their elected officials stand.
Once public land leaves the federal public domain and enters trust status, the public loses meaningful oversight and future access protections can change permanently. For many residents, this is not simply a land transaction, but a generational public policy decision.
Will the Commissioners commit to publicly discussing:
Whether they support the transfer;
Whether they intend to submit a support letter;
And whether they are willing to advocate equally for keeping the land public?
Sovereignty does not entitle Indian tribes to receive a share of federal or state tax revenues. Tribes have their own sovereign authority to levy their own taxes and operate businesses to fund their governments, but they generally do not receive automatic payouts from federal or state tax collections. While tribes do not automatically receive state or federal tax monies, this dynamic functions in several distinct ways: Government Parity: Tribal governments are sovereign entities. Just as state governments do not pay federal income tax, federally recognized tribes and their wholly owned entities are exempt from federal and state income taxes. Lack of Traditional Tax Bases: Because most reservation land is held in trust, tribes cannot levy property taxes. They mostly rely on sales, excise, and gaming taxes, which often fall short of generating the revenue that states secure from income and property taxes. Federal Funding & Grants: Instead of receiving tax revenues, tribes are eligible for federal grants, contracts, and program funding (e.g., through the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Department of Health and Human Services). These allocations are similar to how federal funds are distributed to states for infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
My question is: At what point does the Jamestown Klallam Tribe (or any sovereign nation) stop being allowed to have the benefit of both worlds? This is simply a newly worded "reparations" where all prior deals are considered negligible and instead of cold hard cash in hand being demanded they will simply take back strips of land.
A friend of mine once told me we should give each native a million dollars and be done with this whole sovereign nation thing ,that was twenty years ago he was right
Your article today only touches the surface of all the issues involved with the Jamestown Tribe's advertisement and their quest to obtain total control of the wildlife refuges. Most importantly your article fails to mention that the basic foundation of the ad, that the lands have been removed from Tribal occupation for two centuries, is patently untrue. The Tribe's own documents submitted to the Sequim City Council and the Clallam County Commissioners state that the Treaty of Point No Point gave to the tribe all the rights to use those lands in all the ways the Tribe has always used those lands. While the tribe's choice to concentrate on more profitable ventures available to them because of their unique relationship to our government is understandable, they have been free for these past two hundred years to use the refuges as they always had were they inclined to do so.
The many, many other issues involved include the Tribe's assertions in letters to the BIA that they should not have to be bound by conditions on transfers into trust land status; that they have absolute immunity from being sued should they violate our laws; and that this transfer is a part of the Tribe's larger goal to obtain jurisdiction and control over individuals and taxation in most of Clallam and Jefferson Counties east of Ennis Creek in Port Angeles.
All of us need to be free to discuss these issues in a full and fair manner without being branded racist for doing so. If such a discussion is had, I am confident that a fully and accurately informed public would come down on the side of retaining the status quo and adequately funding the USFWS to maintain the refuges as they should be maintained.
Ron, your understanding of this matter is at the sub-atomic level. 99.99% of us just know the surface of the issue. Thank you for meting out small doses for us. I will never be able to grasp the entirety of the treaties and the laws, but as a tax payer and American citizen, I am for the wildlife refuges remaining in the public's care and possession.
OTHER LANDS ARE QUIETLY SLIPPING AWAY UNDER OUR NOSE UNDER THE GUISE OF A ‘RESTORATION ACT’.
The LOWER ELWHA KLALLAM TRIBE PROJECT LANDS RESTORATION ACT is not ‘Restoration’, it is Land Transfer, the same as the Dungeness and Protection Island proposed transfer. The different phrasing all comes down to Land Grabbing under the Land Back Program which is paid for, improved, built on and funded by those that pay federal taxes.
Bill Summary
A bill to take certain Federal land in the State of Washington into trust for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and for OTHER purposes.
AI Summary
This bill transfers approximately 1,082.63 acres of federal land located within Olympic National Park to be held in trust by the United States specifically for the benefit of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe in Washington State. THE TRANSFERRED LAND WILL BECOME PART OF THE TRIBE’S EXISTING RESERVATION AND WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO STANDARD FEDERAL LAND VALUATION OR APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS. The bill specifies that a portion of the Elwha River within these lands will be managed according to Wild and Scenic Rivers Act guidelines, with some modifications allowed under previous ecosystem restoration legislation. The Secretary of the Interior will conduct a survey to define the precise boundaries of the transferred land and can make minor boundary adjustments as needed. Importantly, the bill explicitly prohibits the transferred land from being used for gaming purposes under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The legislation also explicitly states that it does not impact the tribe's existing treaty rights as established in the 1855 Treaty of Point No Point. By transferring these lands, the bill aims to restore and support the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe's land holdings and cultural heritage.
Tribes are pushing to amend the Wild and Scenic River Act. Designated Wild and Scenic Rivers under the 1968 Act, ensures many protections. One of them is we all have access to those rivers for fishing, wildlife and recreation. There is a push to amend those guarantees so that the rivers (including the Elwha) would be under the control and power of the Tribes who own those boundaries and rivers AND on ancestral land. You think they will allow non-natives to fish their rivers?
Tribes not only want to own trust lands exclusively, but the water as well. Click on below to read full article:
It’s Time to Amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to include Tribal River Protections
Tribes should be able to manage Wild and Scenic Rivers on their lands.
The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 has been the preeminent tool to protect free-flowing rivers in the United States since it was passed more than 50 years ago. Under the Act, rivers with “outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural or other similar values,” as well as their immediate environments, are protected from dams and other potential harms. In spite of its success, the Act largely omits Tribes, failing TO GIVE NATIVE NATIONS THE AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE, MANAGE AND CO-MAANAGE WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS WITHIN THEIR OWN BOUNDARIES AND ON ANCESTRAL LAND.
Thanks Ron. It is about profit for 600 people and the Party that gets a cut. The Public can count on you to hold government accountable on this issue.
Its also nice to have somebody around that farts more dust than I do... Isn't afraid to stand up to the Liberal Water Buffalo Lodge and doesn't always tow the party line just to keep his brown shirt.
Jeff - excellent work as always. Have forwarded this article to people I sent the Spit/Island petition to sign. I noticed in that same Sunday PDN paper you mention, under Public Notices in the second section - more land transfer!
Well...what would the thought process be if the roles were reversed? Suppose the Tribe owned the Dungeness Refuge and Protection Island and the people of the sovereign nation of the United States wanted to take it to preserve it while keeping it open to the public? What do you suppose the tribe would say? "We're doing fine! Public is welcome and the area is preserved. Why change things? Well, we have the same argument. What can the Tribe do for the land that we can't? The answer is nothing...but use it for their owns purposes. What, exactly, does Ron Allen have in mind? We know he wants to use it for economic development for aquaculture. Good stewards of the land...I don't think so. Not when there is money to be made!
PROPAGANDA has been very effective. Find anyone under the age of 30 who has gone thru the Sequim or PA or PT school system that has not been groomed by the Tribe(s) to believe it's all about "Conservation", "Land Back", "Climate"... etc. It's not. It's about creating Tribal oligarchs, you know, the ones the stupid old white people scream and protest about... It's about enriching a few at the top of the tribal pyramid. Sure that pyramid is broadening out. The money is trickling down to more. But let's stop the BS lying and tell it like it is. It's all about the money. The money, you know, the thing you hate other 'white' people for who have more than you. You know, the envy that's been driven into your mind to believe it's the people who have more than you that are to blame and are white or Jewish or Asian... I know you can't help it. Buddy told me once, you understand how the IQ works? Ah yeah... You don't... Bottom line HALF the people are BELOW 100 and HALF ABOVE. Think about that. These below IQs are susceptible to the propaganda and especially so at early ages. As long as our schools can be invaded by people out to groom the minds of the young, it's all going to socialsm. You know, the system that has worked NOWHERE. And you don't like oligarchs, well we are allowing the worst of the worst to become just that...
The tribal corporation has to wrap this effort around their enrolled members for the sympathy needed to move this forward, yet it has nothing to do with their people. When the Jamestown Corporation can demonstrate it cares about their enrolled members, and how these actions actually support them, then I'll be in support. Until then the handful of radical leaders of the JST Corporation are pimping out their members and I'll not be having any of it.
Nobody from JST has said what their true intentions are for the refuge properties once properties are transferred over.Most likely sovereign pity brainwashing methods will be used to get properties,then true intentions will be exposed when tribe changes permits to fit the master plan for making profits.The only reason the tribe wants these properties is for profit one way or another.
Talk and promises about stewardship are just dust in the wind, if not documented and SIGNED as a contract or law. Nice words can fly away in a moment as the bulldozers and chainsaw crank on. Laws about land use can be ignored, and are, but at least the paper of a contractual agreement can be waved around in a public setting. Sweet words of promises cannot be held up anymore than a bit of fog without paper. Poof....
Can a Sovereign nation make a contract of a tangible promise and plan, with another sovereign nation? That's kinda whats missing in this transfer: documentation.
The bill hasn't even come out yet and our 'government officials' are eagerly signing off on the refuges. With nothing to go by except the tribe's word.
Love the comment that " one sovereign nation gets all of their support from another sovereign nation, " and the support is from my taxes. I support financially the 2 sovereign nations . Yeay for me! But I bear no GUILT, still.
Correct me if wrong. It was rumored Allen might retire last year. The pressure put on the tribe by CCW and its readers has changed that. One can see the change in the local newspaper.Two U.S. senators in positions of power and sympathetic to or beholden to the tribes. The tribe will be escalating on all fronts. Why not. On the local scene, commissioners in the left pocket, others in the right.
"I agree President Biden is getting older and glad we have the younger candidate of Vice President Kamala Harris. This is one of the reasons I’m retiring from Chairmanship of our Tribe at the end of this term. I will be 80 and after 50 years at the helm and it’s time for the next generation to continue Jamestown on its journey to Self-Governance and Self-Reliance as a nation. "
I don't know if he announced stepping down altogether. His huge ego probably tells him he's the only one that can do the job.

Good morning Jeff and Doggers,
My concerns are off the charts on this. I live 1/2 mile from bulldozed wetlands. They can and do skirt the environmental protection laws all the time.
This wetlands area is the second of 2 the other 6 miles away.
Keep putting the brakes on this everyone, Please.
Thanks all!

Yes, when will this debt be paid?
Never. That's what emotional extortion is for. This is nothing more than a "you promised me 30 acres and a mule" with a new spin.
BINGO
A friend of mine once told me we should give each native a million dollars and be done with this whole sovereign nation thing ,that was twenty years ago he was right
To a degree. But that would not have stopped the Stofferites from using the Oppression Olympics to get them and the tribe a million more.
When the European Colonizers are wiped out from the river to the sea..
unless we want to play along with Ron, and don a kiffeyeh to walk the dog
Merv Griffin is oohhing from his grave. Lucky Ive had a whiff of napalm...
I'd love to ask Emily Randall what her stance is on Sharia Law and why she stands so close to Rep. Jayapal.
As soon as the Oppression Olympics are over.
Unfortunately the Leftonians use the Oppression Olympics to pad blue pages... and they also happen to love cold hard cash.
