There are five Indian Reservations in Oregon which are the major part of the lands occupied or held in trust by the nine federally recognized tribes in the state:
Burns Paiute Indian Reservation, for the Burns Paiute: 13,738 acres (56 km²) in Harney County;
Siletz Indian Reservation, for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz: 4,204 acres (17 km²), 3,666 acres (15 km²) of which is in Lincoln County;
The others, all on the verge of extinction, are now gathered upon the SiletzReservation, Lincoln County, Northwest Oregon, with the exception of perhaps seventy on the adjoining Grande Ronde reservation to the east.
The Coast Reservation originally extended some ninety miles along the coast, but by the throwing open of the central portion in 1865 was divided into two, the present Siletz agency in the north, and the Alsea subagency in the south.
The approximate 3240 assigned to the reservation in 1857 had dwindled to approximately 1015 in 1880; 480 in 1900; and 430 in 1910, including mixed bloods.
