  Siuslaw
To replace their lost women, Siuslaw men reportedly went south seeking wives among the Umpquas, because that tribe was 'most like the Siuslaws.' It was also said that at sometime before the middle of the nineteenth century, Siuslaw women introduced the practice of flattening the heads of their infants.
An example of the friction among the tribes occured on September 17, 1864, when the military settled an intertribal squabble over a beached whale by dividing the animal and apportioning half of it to Alseas and the other half to other tribes.
The Siuslaws among the latter group settled along the Siuslaw River in the Florence, Oregon, area.

 National Indian Law Library, Indian Law Bulletins, Unreported Case, Oregon v. Norton and Confederated Tribes of the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Tribe asserted that the Hatch Tract qualified for exemption as either "land located within or contiguous to the boundaries of the reservation of the Indian tribe on October 17, 1988," 25 U.S.C. § 2719(a)(1) (contiguous lands exception), or lands taken into trust as part of the "restoration of lands" to a restored tribe.
The district court upheld the Secretary's determination that the Hatch Tract was not contiguous to the Tribe's reservation boundaries as of October 17, 1988.
Because the Hatch Tract is not identified in the Tribe's Restoration Act, the State contends that it does not qualify as restored lands and that the Secretary's determination is arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with law.
