Transfers about 1,082.63 acres of federal land into trust for the benefit of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and adds that land to the Lower Elwha Reservation. The measure requires a land survey, allows minor map corrections, clarifies how the Elwha River portion will be managed under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (with specified modifications), and explicitly states the taken-into-trust lands will not be treated as "Indian lands" for purposes of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. It also preserves all treaty rights under the Treaty of Point No Point.
