Most are native born, working across many occupational categories with higher percentages found in management, service, sales and manufacturing. Median household income and property values for the Muckleshoot Library service area vary widely compared to the Muckleshoot Reservation. As the Tribe continues to expand its operations and strives to improve the physical, educational and economic well-being of its members, the landscape will change. More commercial venues, along with single family housing and multi-dwelling units, will dot the highway. A major thoroughfare may be widened to accommodate additional traffic, activity and population. More begets more. Rural home owners, along with owners of agricultural and environmental operations may join together to deter the efforts of imminent growth and development in rural areas of the County. In this mix of push and pull, the library seeks to draw old and new users from its commercial, residential and rural surroundings. Unlike the current library, which is underutilized and hard to locate, the new library will attract concert goers, gamers, and young and old students, as well as the plateau and Reservation residents to its doors. MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE In the 1800s, a number of distinct tribes inhabited the area surrounding the White and Green Rivers. The Muckleshoot Tribe, descendants of the area’s original Coastal Salish peoples, lived off the wealth of the land and the waters. The ease of fishing, hunting and gathering, coupled with rich forests, provided for the needs of these people. In the 1840s, as the European population grew, conditions changed and friction developed between the tribal communities, non-native settlers and the US government. Governor Stevens, working to acquire more land 1 for the railroads, forced treaties upon the tribes. Native peoples fought back during the Puget Sound Indian War, but the resistance was short-lived. In 1856, the Muckleshoot Reservation (an abandoned army tract called Fort Muckleshoot) was created. Tribal members from the Stkamish, Yiloalkoamish, Tkwakwamish, Smahlkamish and Skopamish were forcibly relocated to the area. Later, members from Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Tulalip and Suquamish joined what is now known as the Muckleshoot Tribe. The Muckleshoot Tribe has ties with the sea. The “People of the Salmon” fished the streams and rivers and were annually blessed with bountiful catches. Fishing rights affirmed by past treaties (1855-56) were ignored by non-native fishers using larger vessels and modern methods. Battle for the recognition of inherent treaty rights, long denied by the federal government, was not reaffirmed until the Boldt decision in 1974. In 1874, an executive order defined the oddly drawn boundaries of the diagonal six square- mile area (3,530+ acres) known as the Muckleshoot Reservation. Much of the land was purchased by the railroads, claimed by settlers, or sold to non-natives. Through 1971, the Tribe owned approximately one-quarter acre of reservation property. Since then, the Tribe and its members bought back approximately 54% of reservation land. In 1936, the Muckleshoot Tribe adopted their constitution. They are governed by a nine member council that serves staggered three-year terms. All community members serve on the General Council, which is responsible for providing input and advice to the Tribal Council. The 1974 Boldt decision provided some economic relief to tribal fishers and fisheries, but the economic benefits were moderate and short-lived due to urbanization and changes in ecological conditions. Economic conditions for the Tribe changed significantly in 1995 with the opening of the Muckleshoot Casino. Today, the Tribe oversees more than 3,500 jobs and has a payroll of $50 million, making it the second largest employer in southeast King County. From 2003 to 2005, gambling receipts generated $915,000 to $1,025,000 in taxes for the City of Auburn. Robust revenues from gaming receipts have allowed the Muckleshoot Tribe to offer families services such as health and wellness care, home construction and rental support, educational assistance or college funding, new computer purchases, employment training and opportunities, a daycare facility and other benefits that support the tribal mission to strengthen mind, body, heart and spirit. 2 MUCKLESHOOT LIBRARY’S SERVICE AREA: PAST AND PRESENT The library’s service area includes the southeast quadrant of the City of Auburn, the Muckleshoot Tribal Reservation and sections of unincorporated southeast King County west of the City of Enumclaw. The original Coast Salish peoples populated this area for thousands of years. They lived along the banks of the Green and White rivers in cedar plank dwellings surrounded by forests of madrona, fir, yew, cascara, elderberry and their beloved cedar. The valleys were populated by and hunted for deer, bears, cougars, wolves and elk. Smaller furry animals such as otter, beaver, mink and raccoon were plentiful. The rivers offered a rich harvest of clam and salmon. Some of the earliest inhabitants did not practice farming or animal husbandry. Thus from spring until fall, tribal people spent their days digging bitter roots or harvesting Camassia Quamash, Wapato or tiger lily bulbs. Berry picking (i.e. salmon, huckle, elder, salal, prairie, cranberry, thimble, blackcap and wild strawberry) filled many summer and fall hours. Dogwood, ocean spray, asters, cattails, skunk cabbage, trillium and dog-tooth violets added color to the land. The drive southeast along State Route 164 and reservation grounds today offers both suburban and rural landscapes. There are retail sites, schools, religious institutions, firework stands, fishery areas, a smoke shop, the FAA building, small strip malls, mobile-home communities and more. Since 1974, the Muckleshoot Housing Authority has worked to build and improve housing on the reservation for low and moderate income families. Skopabash village was one of the initial projects. In 1985, the Tribe built a small bingo hall. Ten years later, the Muckleshoot Casino opened. Four expansions later, this 200,000-square-foot facility and garage, positions the Tribe as one of the state’s financial powerhouses in the gaming industry and is rumored to be the most profitable (Gambling Magazine 11.27.02). In June 2003, the Muckleshoot Tribe opened the $30 million, 20,000-seat White River Amphitheater. This joint venture between the Tribe and Clear Channel Communications is one of the largest concert venues in Western Washington. The tribal college, situated just north of the amphitheater, has grown from an enrollment of 30 in 1998 to approximately 450 students in 2005. In late 2003, construction was completed on the two-story, 52,000-square-foot Philip Star Building, which houses administrative offices, as well as fisheries, andwildlife and policy departments for the Tribe. The building serves as a link to the tribal community with tribal council chambers, general tribal meeting rooms and other tribal offices located inside. In October 2005, the Tribe opened the 95,000-square-foot, $20 million Health and Wellness Center. The facility is evenly divided between treatment and prevention services. A new two-story, 65,000-square-foot bingo hall (across the street from the Muckleshoot Casino) is to open at the end of 2006. It will accommodate as many as 1,100 players and 3 replace the current bingo hall. Plans also include a new 42,000-square-foot casino (adjacent to the front of the existing casino) complete with video slot machines, gaming deli, bar and other casino accouterments. Recreational needs spur future development of a soccer field, four baseball diamonds and a gymnasium on open reservation land. A new and larger tribal school is slated for construction in 2008-2009.

Mr. Harvie came into his fortune when oil was discovered in 1949 on land near Leduc and Redwater, for which he held the mineral rights. With this prosperity, he decided to pursue his favourite passion — collecting — and simultaneously return some of his good fortune back to the region that had been so generous to him. Mr. Harvie's goal was to collect the objects representing the history and culture of Western Canada as well as from around the world.

  • Tribal Element
    Tribal Element Three federally-recognized Indian Tribes, the Sauk-Suiattle Tribe, the Stillaguamish Tribe, and the Tulalip Tribes, occupy areas of present-day Snohomish County. These Tribes and their ancestors are a land and water based people, part of a larger group of aboriginal Tribes and First Nations known as the Coast Salish peoples, who live around the Salish Sea in what is now Washington State and the Canadian Province of British Columbia. The Coast Salish Tribes and First Nations have lived here since time immemorial, enjoying a landscape rich in natural resources. Coast Salish lifeways are tied to the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest, especially the Salish Sea. Today the Sauk-Suiattle, Stillaguamish, and the Tulalip Tribes are sovereign nations recognized by the United States government. Each Tribe has its own government with its own governing charter or constitution and set of general laws. These Tribes reserved lands in what is now Snohomish County as Indian reservation homelands. The Tribes have important historic and cultural sites both on and off their reservations. Each Tribe continues to exercise off-reservation rights reserved under treaty with the United States, including the right to fish in usual and accustomed fishing grounds and the right to hunt and gather on open and unclaimed lands. Snohomish County acknowledges the historic and present-day connection between tribal people and the land base, and recognizes each Tribe’s sovereignty. Snohomish County is committed to partnering with the Tribes to protect and preserve Tribal cultural and treaty resources, the natural environment, and sacred cultural areas. The relationship between these Tribes and Snohomish County is especially important when activities of county government, particularly land use regulation, have implications for one or more Tribes.

Furthermore the Plan covers the Tulalip Tribes Usual and Accustom Fishing areas (U&A) as determined by Judge Walter E. Craig in United States of America et. al., plaintiffs v. State of Washington et. al., defendant, Civil 9213 Phase I, Sub Proceeding 80-1, “In Re: Tulalip Tribes’ Request for Determination of Usual and Accustom Fishing Places.” This planning scope does not limit in any way the Tulalip Tribes’ hazard mitigation and emergency management planning concerns or influence. This section will provide detailed information on the history, geography, climate, land use, population and economy of the Tulalip Tribes and its Reservation. Tulalip Reservation History Archaeologists and historians estimate that Native Americans arrived from Siberia via the Bering Sea land bridge beginning 17,000 to 11,000 years ago in a series of migratory waves during the end of the last Ice Age. Indians in the region share a similar cultural heritage based on a life focused on the bays and rivers of Puget Sound.

Indigenous History in Burnaby Resource Guide 6501 Deer Lake Ave, Burnaby, BC V5G 3T6 | 604-297-4565 | burnabyvillagemuseum.ca 2019-06-03 The Burnaby School District is thankful to work, play and learn on the traditional territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwxwú7mesẖ speaking people. As we inquire into learning more about the history of these lands, we are grateful to Burnaby Village Museum for working with our host First Nation communities. The knowledge being shared in this resource guide through our local communities supports the teaching and learning happening in our classrooms. It deepens our understanding of the history of our community and will increase our collective knowledge of our host First Nations communities’ history in Burnaby. In our schools, this guide will assist in creating place-based learning opportunities that will build pride for our Indigenous learners through the sharing of this local knowledge, but also increase understanding for our non-Indigenous learners. Through this guide, we can move closer to the Truth and Reconciliation’s Call to Action 63 (i and iii): 63. We call upon the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada to maintain an annual commitment to Indigenous education issues, including: i. Developing and implementing Kindergarten to Grade Twelve curriculum and learning resources on Indigenous peoples in Canadian history, and the history and legacy of residential schools. iii. Building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. We would like extend thanks to Burnaby Village Museum staff for their time and efforts in creating this resource guide.

    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.

  • 1 H.R. 2961 Response of Brian Cladoosby, Chairman of the Senate
    H.R. 2961 Response of Brian Cladoosby, Chairman of the Senate, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, to Additional Questions Questions from Representative Paul Cook 1. At the hearing, you indicated that as the Chairman of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community (SITC) you do not support H.R. 375. Could you explain why the SITC does not support H.R. 375? The premise of this question is factually inaccurate. I testified that the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community neither supports nor opposes H.R. 375 because SITC does not have a Carcieri problem. This exchange can be viewed at the 54 minute, 56 second mark of the hearing webcast as maintained on the Committee’s webpage. As retrieved on June 17, 2019, the URL for this exchange is https://youtu.be/I9COgMJj86U?t=3236. 2. Do you agree that Samish is a federally recognized Indian tribe? If not, please explain the basis for your response. I agree that the Samish Indian Nation is a federally recognized Indian tribe by virtue of the Final Determination to Acknowledge the Samish Tribal Organization as a Tribe made by Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Ada Deer on November 8, 1995.1 However, it is important to note that the Samish Indian Nation was not recognized as a successor to the historic Samish Tribe. To the contrary, its claim to be a successor to the historic Samish Tribe was specifically rejected in the recognition proceedings. See: - Greene v. Lujan, Order Granting Federal Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment at 10 (No. C89-645Z, W.D. Wash.
