Klickitat County officials are analyzing a Bureau of Indian Affairs decision to approve a retrocession petition to return authority to the Yakama Nation for certain civil and criminal cases involving tribal members that have been handled by the state for decades. County Commissioner David Sauter says some of their concerns have been addressed in the decision, noting it had been done in accordance to a proclamation by Washington Governor Jay Inslee that retrocession would have no application to non-tribal members, which was a key point for the County. The decision does not address Glenwood, which the tribe has claimed is within the exterior boundary of the Yakama Nation reservation but Klickitat County and the state have always asserted it is not. Court decisions have sided with the County and the state, and Sauter says the retrocession approval has not changed that.
