About these places
The Burns Paiute Tribe owns three properties that are not part of their current reservation, but are part of their former reservation and aboriginal territory:
Logan Valley
Denny Jones Ranch
Beech Creek
Logan Valley includes the headwaters of the Malheur River. Denny Jones Ranch is considered core sage-grouse habitat which the Malheur River runs through. Beech Creek includes six miles of native fish habitat that flows straight into the main stem of the John Day River.
Historically, tribal members gathered roots, hunted, and fished on these properties. ONDA is pleased to help restore them to give tribal members an opportunity to resume traditional practices and to utilize the culturally important resources found within the area.
