Sec. 714a. Extension of Federal recognition, rights, and
privileges
(a) Federal recognition
Federal recognition is hereby extended to the Tribe, and its members
shall be eligible for all Federal services and benefits furnished to
federally recognized tribes. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in any law establishing such services and benefits, eligibility
of the Tribe and its members for such Federal services and benefits
shall become effective on October 17, 1984, without regard to the
existence of a reservation for the Tribe or the residence of the members
of the Tribe on a reservation for such members who reside in the
following counties of Oregon: Coos, Lane, Lincoln, Douglas, and Curry.
(b) Restoration of rights and privileges
Except as provided in subscription \1\ (c) of this section, all
rights and privileges of the Tribe and of members of the Tribe under any
Federal treaty, Executive order, agreement or statute, or under any
other authority, which were diminished or lost under the Act of August
13, 1954 (25 U.S.C. 691, et seq.), are hereby restored and the
provisions of that Act are inapplicable to the Tribe and to members of
the Tribe on October 17, 1984.

(c) Hunting, fishing, or trapping rights not granted or restored
This subchapter shall not grant or restore any hunting, fishing, or
trapping right of any nature, including any indirect or procedural right
or advantage, to any member of the Tribe, nor shall any presumption be
created by this subchapter as to the existence or nonexistence of such
rights.
(d) Effect on property rights and other obligations
Except as specifically provided in this subchapter, nothing in this
subchapter shall alter any property right or obligation, any contractual
right or obligation, or any obligation for taxes already levied.
