(a) Federal recognition
Notwithstanding any provision of the Act approved August 13, 1954
(25 U.S.C. 691 et seq.) or any other law, Federal recognition is
extended to the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of
Oregon and the corporate charter of such tribe issued pursuant to

is reinstated. Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, all laws
and regulations of the United States of general application to Indians
or nations, tribes, or bands of Indians which are not inconsistent with
any specific provision of this subchapter shall be applicable to the
tribe.
(b) Restoration of rights and privileges
Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, all rights and
privileges of the tribe and the members of the tribe under any Federal
treaty, Executive order, agreement, or statute, or under any other
Federal authority, which may have been diminished or lost under the Act
approved August 13, 1954 (25 U.S.C. 691 et seq.) are restored, and the
provisions of such subchapter shall be inapplicable to the tribe and to
members of the tribe after November 22, 1983.
(c) Federal services and benefits
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the tribe and its
members shall be eligible, on and after November 22, 1983, for all
Federal services and benefits furnished to federally recognized Indian
tribes without regard to the existence of a reservation for the tribe.
In the case of Federal services available to members of federally
recognized Indian tribes residing on or near a reservation, members of
the tribe residing in the following counties of the State of Oregon
shall be deemed to be residing on or near a reservation:
(1) Washington County.
(2) Marion County.
(3) Yamhill County.
(4) Polk County.
(5) Tillamook County.
(6) Multnomah County.
Any member residing in any such county shall continue to be eligible to
receive any such Federal service notwithstanding the establishment of
any reservation for the tribe in accordance with any plan prepared
pursuant to section 713f of this title.
(d) No hunting, fishing or trapping rights restored
No hunting, fishing, or trapping rights of any nature of the tribe
or of any member, including any indirect or procedural right or
advantage over individuals who are not members, are granted or restored
under this subchapter.
(e) Effect on property rights and other obligations
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this subchapter, no
provision contained in this subchapter shall alter any property right or
obligation, any contractual right or obligation, or any obligation for
taxes already levied.
