  • 1 Testimony of Tom Wooten, Chairman, Samish Indian Nation
    Testimony of Tom Wooten, Chairman, Samish Indian Nation House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs Legislative Hearing on H.R. 2320, the Samish Indian Nation Land Conveyance Act of 2017 November 15, 2017 Introduction Good morning Chairman LaMalfa, Ranking Member Torres, and Members of the Subcommittee. My name is Tom Wooten, Chairman of the Samish Indian Nation (“Tribe”), a federally recognized Indian tribe based in Anacortes, Washington, in the San Juan Islands. The Tribe is comprised of approximately 1,500 citizens. Thank you for this opportunity to testify today on H.R. 2320, the Samish Indian Nation Land Conveyance Act of 2017. H.R. 2320 would provide our Tribe with a small land base that will enable our tribal government to provide basic services to our citizens, address tribal government administrative needs, and give the Samish people more opportunities to participate in our traditional ways of life. On behalf of the Tribe, I extend our tremendous thanks to Congressman Rick Larsen for introducing H.R. 2320. This is the third time Rep. Larsen has introduced this bill. Our quest to obtain a land base for our people has been an extremely long and difficult road, and we greatly appreciate his commitment to assist the Samish Nation in rebuilding our community. I also want to thank Anacortes Mayor Laurie Gere and the City Council of Anacortes for their support and partnership, and for working with us over the past 14 years under a memorandum of agreement for mutual cooperation. I also would like to thank San Juan County Chair Rick Hughes and the County Board, Skagit County Chair Ron Wesen and County Commissioners, as well as our local state delegation for their support of H.R.

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.

  • CHAPTER 1: RESERVATION PROFILE Tribal Background
    Squaxin LRTP 2009 Update * June 23, 2008 D R A F T * Profile Page 1 CHAPTER 1: RESERVATION PROFILE Tribal Background The Squaxin Island Tribe members are the descendants of the maritime people who historically lived along the shores and watersheds of South Puget Sound and its seven inlets. Because of their strong cultural connection with the water, they are also known as the People of the Water. Squaxin Island, four and a half miles long and a half mile wide (1443-acres), is centered near the entrances to the seven inlets of southern Puget Sound - Noo-Seh-Chatl, Steh Chass, Squi-Aitl, Sawamish/T'Peeksin, Sa-Heh-Wa- Mish, Squawksin, and S'Hotle-Ma-Mish. The Squaxin Island Reservation was established under the Treaty of Medicine Creek in 1854. The Squaxin ancestors were confined to the Island during the Indian War of 1856-57. After the war, the island’s population dwindled (no drinking water) as people left to take up permanent residence near their original homes. Although there are no year-round residents on Squaxin Island today, it continues to be regularly used by tribal members for fishing, hunting, shellfish gathering, camping, and other activities. After the General Allotment Act of 1887, the tribe gained off-reservation trust lands (about 36 acres) on Harstine Island across Peale Passage in Mason County and across Pickering Passage from Squaxin Island (about 6 acres) in Thurston County. Tribal headquarters are now located in Kamilche (18 miles northwest of Olympia and 8 miles south of Shelton) in Mason County between Little Skookum and Totten Inlets.

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.
