Each child had a skill and ability that would contribute to the health and vitality of the community. Everyone in the community helped to identify and cultivate these skills and abilities.

ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI GREGORY G. GARRE MARC D. SLONIM BENJAMIN W. SNYDER Counsel of Record LATHAM & WATKINS LLP ZIONTZ CHESTNUT 555 Eleventh Street, NW 2101 Fourth Avenue Suite 1000 Suite 1230 Washington, DC 20004 Seattle, WA 98121 202 637-2207 (206) 448-1230 [email protected] [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner QUESTION PRESENTED On the same day in 1859, the Senate ratified several treaties between the United States and Indian tribes in western Washington. The Treaty of Neah Bay secured to the Makah Indian Tribe the “right of taking fish and of whaling or sealing at usual and accustomed grounds and stations.” The Treaty of Olympia secured to the Quileute Indian Tribe and Quinault Indian Nation, the southern neighbors of Makah along the Washington coast, the “right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations.” Unlike the Treaty of Neah Bay, the Treaty of Olympia expressed only a “right of taking fish”; it did not reference “whaling or sealing.” In this case, the Ninth Circuit held the “right of taking fish” in the Treaty of Olympia includes a right of whaling and sealing. Then, the Ninth Circuit held Quileute and Quinault’s “usual and accustomed” fishing grounds under the treaty extend beyond the areas in which the Tribes customarily fished to areas in which they hunted “‘marine mammals—including whales and fur seals.’” App.

  • Tribal Resources
    Pathways to Healing Tribal Resources It is the mission of the Cowlitz Tribe Pathways to Healing Program “To honor traditional values and beliefs that promote safety and well being for Native American families by providing a holistic approach to inform, educate, and heal our communities affected by violence.” We value: Integrity: Through honesty and integrity we respect the rights and choices of individuals and families affected by violence. Community: We demonstrate our commitment to social change and an end to violence within our community, through our leadership, words and actions. Safety: We help provide a safe non-threatening environment free from abuse, violence and judgement. Empowerment: Through advocacy we empower individuals and communities to heal from abuse and speak out against all forms of violence. This project was supported by Grant NO. 2010 TW-AX-0003 awarded by the office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this publication/program exhibition are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Department of Justice Office on Violence against women. 1 Introduction Autsis-kwil-lum (Friend) In a time of colored ribbons and magnetic bumper stickers for every occasion, people can spread awareness for any cause they are passionate about. The Pathways to Healing (PTH) program would like people to remember that violence in our homes, schools, and communities should not be accepted and we all can have a voice. This Tribal directory is offered as a resource for Native American/Alaska Native people to locate services within Tribal communities that provides support or resources when healing from violence.

  • The Case of the Two Ladies and the Owl How a Disagreement Can Help a Dying Language Speak]
    The case of the two ladies and the owl How a disagreement can help a dying language speak] Nile R. Thompson and C. Dale Sloat Dushuyay Research Portland, OR In this brief article we examine an episode that took place as the Salishan language Twana was about to enter the last phase of its existence and show how infonnation gleaned at that time can be meaningful in analyzing the language and related cognitive structures as they existed during the heyday of the culture. We will demonstrate that insights are captured regarding not only the process of the language's death but also regarding th~ field of ethnoscience. 1 Introduction Too often, it is thought that research conducted after a language has ceased to be used in daily activities can only be made productive by asking the most insightful of questions. A scarcity of speaker to speaker interactions in the language means that one type of valued data will no longer be available. In this presentation, we will attempt to demonstrate that valuable insights can still be gained? In order to assist in our presentation, we will bring in the observations of two noted researchers to introduce and discuss what occurred. Unknown to many, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson turned to the study of Salishan languages after they retired from criminal investigations.3 They found their earlier training and experience to be' eminently transferable to their new endeavor.4 I Thompson would like to express his appreciation to Louisa Pulsifer who taught him about Twana language and culture from 1975 until her death in 1979.

CHAIRMAN’S CORNER Bill Iyall I am proud to serve as Chairman of the Cowlitz Tribe and to celebrate all of the accomplishments we have made together as a people. We have come a long way during the past few years through the process of self-governance and self-determination. We stand strong as co-managers of both natural and cultural resources in our homeland. We have confidence in our future with great promise of successful economic development and social services, providing employment opportunities and much needed resources for our Tribal members and the local communities.

I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by our tribe throughout history to regain a place of our own in our homeland. Many have worked hard on our behalf and they rejoice with us today. Congratulations to all of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Your determination and dedication have all played an important role in this historic achievement.

They provide services including 14 health care, education, housing, public safety, courts, 10 transportation, natural resources, environment, culture 23 and economic development. Gaming revenue is a major source of funding to pay for tribal government services. 11 Tribes are investing in new initiatives to diversify their economic base. Investments range from hotels to golf 1 courses to shopping centers. 19 Tribes employ more than 30,000 people statewide and pay more than $1.5 billion annually in wages and benefits. Capital spending, and the purchase of goods and services from private companies, adds billions more dollars to the state’s economy each year. Tribal economic activities also generate millions of dollars in federal, state and local taxes. 29 Washingtontribes.org is a public education program of the Washington Indian Gaming Association. washingtontribes.org 3 1.
