The war of 1855-1856
After the war of 1855-1856 After the Rogue River Wars of 1855-56, most of the peoples were forced onto (at the time) one of three reservations, Coast, Siletz, and Alsea Reservations, where they were to form a single unified tribe, at each agency (Siletz agency and the Grand Ronde Agency). The three reservations (combined) originally comprised of 1.4 million acres, which was established by executive order (President Franklin Pierce) on November 9, 1855, only weeks after the start of the Rogue River Wars. The Rogue River Wars was an armed conflict between the US Army, local militias and volunteers, and the Native American tribes commonly grouped under the designation of Rogue River Indians, in the Rogue River Valley area of what today is southern Oregon in 1855–56. ...

Les AuCoin to the House, H.R. 7259, which the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commmission fought and helped stall).
