  • From R. Cawston I Know We Have Many Problems In
    From R. Cawston I know we have many problems in our tribal government, but we cannot always focus on the wrong without also recognizing all of the good. There are members of our staff who have been up working all night long, and others going out of their way to be of assistance. Just when I learn of one more thing that needs to be done, someone stands up, and volunteers to help out! We also have many friends out there, Congressman, federal & state employees, other tribes who have contacted us to offer donations because they want to help us during our time of need. Also, our Governor who has declared a "State of Emergency". OUTSTANDING! Further, we also need to thank all of our Wild Land Fire Management Teams who risk their lives. Our own Fire Management Team from Mount Tolman, Okanogan Co. Fire Districts 3, 6, 8, & 15. Also, Washington State DNR & other Federal, State & local agencies. The Commissioner of Public Lands, Hilliary Franz who has personally reached out & deployed fire fighting resources including aerial resources. We are also receiving assistance from the Red Cross & the National Guard. Rodney Cawston, Chairman Colville Confederated Tribes FYI: Inslee declares state of emergency for statewide wildfires August 19, 2020 Gov. Jay Inslee issued a statewide emergency proclamation today to ensure immediate response to multiple wildfires in Central and Eastern Washington, as well as the Olympic Peninsula. "Wildfires are threatening the safety and livelihoods of Washingtonians all across the state," Inslee said. "And the COVID-19 pandemic has put additional strain on our resources, as some of our usual support is further limited due to international movement restrictions." Firefighting resources throughout the state have been spread thin due to commitments to pre-existing and projected fire activity, and this current emergency is compounded by extreme high temperatures and dry weather, as well as the increase of visitors to Washington wilderness areas.
