Key Points

  • The federal government gives about 584 acres of Forest Service land in California to the Pit River Tribe to hold in trust.
  • Once transferred, this land becomes an official part of the Pit River Tribe’s reservation, similar to other tribal lands they already have.
  • The land transfer must respect any current legal rights there now, like utility lines, road access, or other existing agreements.
  • The law blocks building a casino or other gambling operation on this land, even after it becomes tribal trust land.
  • The Agriculture Department must finish a detailed land survey within 6 months so the Interior Department can complete the transfer.
