The majority of tribal members on the Quileute Indian Reservation live in a tsunami zone. The reservation is nestled on one square mile on the Olympia Peninsula in Washington state. With no room to expand, the tribe is asking the federal government for land.

In the process, thousands of acres of land would be protected from development and public access to beaches along the coast would be guaranteed.
