Fearing they might get wiped out by a tsunami, members of an Indian tribe in Washington state want Congress to give them nearly 800 acres of federal park land so they can move to higher ground. The National Park Service backs the plan, which would transfer land in Olympic National Park - including 222 acres of officially designated wilderness- to the Quileute tribe. It would require a reversal by Congress, which declared 95 percent of the park a wilderness area in 1988. (Tony Overman/The Olympian/MCT) (Tony Overman/MCT)
