The new addition will not affect the operations of the current store except for a minor change in the entrance to the drive-in during construction. The expansion will include offices for the Nisqually Construction Company on the second floor and a mixture of retail on the ground floor. “We are going to have a mail shop, kind of like a UPS store, but we’re going to run it,” Iyall said. Other tenants are still being decided, but will probably include some sort of fast food business. The Nisqually Construction Company will build the project and that will include four to five tribal member jobs through TERO. Meanwhile, the Frederickson store that opened in the fall of 2017 is doing quite well. “In that location, we are serving a number of companies that have 24-hour operations such as Boeing and JBLM. We’re already selling twice as much gas there as we do at our reservation store.” Additionally, the deli is in high demand due to the shift workers.

  • Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project
    Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Preliminary Environmental Assessment Bonneville Power Administration Fort Lewis Military Reservation Nisqually Indian Tribe Bureau of Indian Affairs October 2004 Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Responsible Agencies and Tribe: U.S. Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville); U.S. Department of Defense, Fort Lewis Military Reservation (Fort Lewis); the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA); and the Nisqually Indian Tribe (Tribe). Name of Proposed Project: Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Abstract: Bonneville proposes to remove and reroute two parallel transmission lines that cross the Nisqually Indian Reservation in Thurston County, Washington. Bonneville’s easement across the Reservation for a portion of the Olympia-Grand Coulee line has expired. Though Bonneville has a perpetual easement for the Olympia-South Tacoma line across the Reservation, the Tribe has asked Bonneville to remove both lines so the Tribe can eventually develop the land for its community. The land fronts State Route 510 and is across the highway from the Tribe’s Red Wind Casino. In addition, the Tribe would like Bonneville to remove the two lines from a parcel next to the Reservation that Fort Lewis owns. The Tribe is working with Fort Lewis to obtain this parcel, which also has frontage on SR 510. Bonneville is proposing to remove the portions of these lines on the Reservation and on the Fort-owned parcel and rebuild them south of SR 510 on Fort Lewis property. Fort Lewis is willing to have these lines on their federal property, in exchange for other in-holdings currently owned by Thurston County that the Tribe would purchase and turn over to Fort Lewis.

Among other things, he has a neighborhood in Seattle, Washington named after him, a city park, a marina, restaurants and stores, as well as a school on the Puyallup Indian Reservation. His name is revered by Northwest Indians and respected by non-Indians who know his story. And yet, he remains, legally, a convicted murderer. For years there has been a small movement to clear Leschi’s name. However, it was only two years ago, almost 150 years after his conviction, that

The event was well attended and featured a seasonal dinner, cider pressing with the apples from the Garden, and an abundant giveaway of food and medicine. We would like to give a big thanks to our volunteers, the Youth Center staff, and our garden staff, especially our extraordinary seasonal crew as they are finishing up their work for the year. As we continually gather community feedback, our programing has grown and evolved over the years. In the past couple years we have increased services to Nisqually Elders. This year we completed our second season of the Elders Home Delivery program – this year 24 Nisqually Elders received a box of assorted produce from the Garden each week through the peak season. Also, in collaboration with the Nisqually AmeriCorps crew, we built raised garden beds in the yards of 5 Elders and provided seeds and starts for their own gardens. We will continue to build raised garden beds for 5 Elders each spring. In addition to increasing services to Elders, we have also expanded our nutrition education and medicinal plant program over the past several years.

  • Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Impact Statement Thurston and Pierce Counties, Washington
    Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Impact Statement Thurston and Pierce Counties, Washington Type of Action: Administrative Lead Agency: U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service Responsible Official: David B. Allen, Regional Director For Further Information: Jean Takekawa, Refuge Manager Nisqually NWR Complex 100 Brown Farm Road Olympia, WA 98516 (360) 753-9467 Abstract: Four alternatives, including a Preferred Alternative and a No Action Alternative, are described, compared, and assessed for Nisqually NWR. Alternative A is the No Action Alternative, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act regulations. Selection of this alternative would mean that a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) would be based on continuing management of the Refuge as it has been over the past several years. The four alternatives are summarized below: Alternative A—No Action: Status Quo – This alternative assumes no change from past management programs and is considered the base from which to compare the other alternatives. There would be no changes to the Refuge boundary and no major changes in habitat management or public use programs. Alternative B—Refuge Expansion of 2,407 Acres and Minimum Estuarine Restoration – This alternative would provide for moderate expansion of the Refuge boundary (2,407-acre addition). It places new management emphasis on the restoration of estuarine habitat and improved freshwater wetland management. The current environmental education program would be improved and expanded, to the largest degree of all action alternatives. There would be fewer changes to the trail system than in other action alternatives, and the Refuge would remain closed to waterfowl hunting, with the closure posted and enforced.

  • What Happened to the Steh-Chass People?
    Pat Rasmussen PO Box 13273 Olympia, WA 98508 Phone: 509-669-1549 E-mail: [email protected] November 23, 2014 What happened to the Steh-chass people? The Steh-chass people lived in a permanent village at the base of Tumwater Falls for thousands of years. The Steh-chass village was a permanent settlement – property and food were stored there. They lived in gabled cedar plank homes of rectangular, slightly slanted sides of cedar posts and planks. In the mid-1850’s there were three cedar plank homes there.1 A community of up to eight families lived in each with bed platforms along the walls. The village was a ceremonial site, a sacred site, where at least five tribes - the Nisqually, Squaxin, Chehalis, Suquamish and Duwamish - gathered for ceremonies, feasts, potlatches and to harvest and preserve salmon, clams, mussels, whelts, and moon snails, as well as crabs, barnacles, Chinese slippers, oysters and cockles, by drying, smoking or baking in rock-lined underground ovens.2 Layers of seashells recorded many years of habitation. The village was named Steh-chass and the river, now the Deschutes, was named Steh- chass River.3 The Steh-chass people, a sub-tribe of the Nisqually Indians, fished and gathered seafood all along the shores of Budd inlet.4 T. T. Waterman’s maps of Budd Inlet from the mid-1800’s show the Steh-chass Indians lived along the shores of the entire inlet.5 The Steh-chass people were led by Sno-ho-dum-set, known as a man of peace.6 At the Medicine Creek Treaty Council of December 24-26, 1854, Sno-ho-dum- set represented the

    The Promise and the Price of Contact: Puyallup Indian Acculturation, Federal Indian Policy and the City of Tacoma, 1832-1909 Kurt Kim Schaefer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Dr. John Findlay, Chair Dr. Alexandra Harmon Dr. Bruce Hevly Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History The Promise and the Price of Contact: Puyallup Indian Acculturation, Federal Indian Policy and the City of Tacoma, 1832-1909 Copyright 2016 Kurt Kim Schaefer University of Washington Abstract The Promise and the Price of Contact: Puyallup Indian Acculturation, Federal Indian Policy and the City of Tacoma, 1832-1909 Kurt Kim Schaefer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. John Findlay Department of History History shows that Native American contact with Euro-Americans led to many Indians’ loss of land, resources, and independence. Between 1832 and 1909, numerous Puyallup Indians of the south Puget Sound suffered this fate as they dealt with newly imported Euro-American diseases and colonialism. As tragic as this era in history was to the Puyallup, it was also a time when many tribal members continued a long tradition of embracing outside influences into their lives and shaping them to fit their cultural needs. This study will show that prior to 1832, the Puyallup had a long, complex, and generally prosperous relationship with other communities in the Puget Sound region and cultural transformation was a normal part of their life. After 1832, change came more quickly and, unfortunately, was more destructive. Nevertheless, many Puyallup continued accepting change and some successfully shaped their new situation to fit their needs, just as their ancestors had done.

    Photo of Gatewood School students on last day of school, Seattle, June 17, 1949. Courtesy Museum of History & Industry. HistoryLink.org Supplement for Washington: A State of Contrasts 1 Washington: A State of Contrasts has been identified as the most commonly used Washington state History textbook for 7th and 8th grades for the 2011-12 school year. Using this textbook as a base for identifying the specific themes and topics that are being covered in required Pacific Northwest History middle school classes, the Education Team at HistoryLink.org has created this supplement for teacher and students. This supplement was developed as a tool to assist in identifying HistoryLink.org essays that can be used to study and research the state history themes and topic in more depth. The name of each relevant essay is listed as well as the abstract, number, and link to the full essay. This supplement also aids HistoryLink.org in identifying general or specific topics for which more essays are needed or would be helpful in the Washington state History classroom. In addition, as a part of this exercise, HistoryLink.org staff assigned appropriate key words to selected essays to match those used in this textbook. A set of HistoryLink Elementary essays was added to the HistoryLink encyclopedia in 2014. (http://www.historylink.org/Index.cfm?DisplayPage=education/elementary- educators.cfm.) These essays were written for beginning readers who are studying Washington state history or anyone who wants to learn more about Washington. They may be helpful for some of your students.
