I want to give my support to the campaign of the Quileute Nation to expand their tribal territory and move their primary residences and important businesses and civic services to higher ground. The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan has underscored the inherent dangers of living on low-lying coastal areas. These people should have the choice to move to higher ground, and all they need to accomplish it is a small portion of the Olympia National Forest. This would not interfere with ONF's primary purpose because the Quileute utilize a lot of tourist commerce for their livelihoods and would seek to preserve the forest itself as much as possible. This is merely a matter of reducing the unnecessary danger the tribe lives in.
