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. Throughout the Puget Sound region, While seafood was a mainstay of the native diet, cedar trees were the most important building material.there were Cedar numerous was used small to tribesbuild both that subsistedlonghouses on and salmon, large halibut,canoes.

There was discussion about possible locations for hosting a canoe journey in conjunction with the other Medicine Creek Treaty Tribes. The canoe jour- neys are growing rapidly and there would have to be adequate lodging for thousands of people. Sis Brownfi eld publicly congratulated Chris Peters on his "professional and decent behavior" in his role as a law enforcement offi cer. The Learning Center (TLC) Director Kim Coo- per talked about discussions with Boys & Girls Clubs to see whether the Tribe might want to coordinate programs with them or use them as models for more tribally-oriented programs. Harry Fletcher asked about meals being brought to Elders' homes and transportation to appointments. He was told a person has been hired to do this work and should begin very soon. Tribal members gathered on Saturday, January 7th, for their semi-annual General Body meeting to talk about their concerns, discuss possible solutions and join in friendship over a potluck dinner and chili cook-off. Things discussed included the need for a Safe House, a Halfway House, a Community Recreation Center with a swimming pool and fi tness center, a plan for artists to market their products, more housing (stop turning purchased homes into offi ces), more options for relaying of clams, better animal control, a home for foster care, a plan for hosting a canoe journey in this area, more participation in Shelton School District activities, funding to provide more health services and increased police presence on the reservation.

  • 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.

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.
