In 1855 the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw tribes of Oregon signed
the Empire Treaty with the United States, which would have provided
them rights as federally acknowledged tribes with formal
relationships with the U.S. government. The treaty, however, was
never ratified by Congress; in fact, the federal government lost
the document. Tribal leaders spent the next century battling to
overcome their quasi-recognized status, receiving some federal
services for Indians but no compensation for the land and resources
they lost. In 1956 the U.S. government officially terminated their
tribal status as part of a national effort to eliminate the
government's relationship with Indian tribes. These tribes
vehemently opposed termination yet were not consulted in this
action. In "Seeking Recognition," David R. M. Beck examines the
termination and eventual restoration of the Confederated Tribes at
Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw some thirty years later, in 1984.
Within this historical context, the termination and restoration of
the tribes take on new significance. These actions did not take
place in a historical vacuum but were directly connected with the
history of the tribe's efforts to gain U.S. government recognition
from the very beginning of their relations.
