    Cowlitz Indian Tribe Fall Newsletter 2011 Yooyoola! CHAIRMAN’S CORNER Bill Iyall I am proud to serve as Chairman of the Cowlitz Tribe and to celebrate all of the accomplishments we have made together as a people. We have come a long way during the past few years through the process of self-governance and self-determination. We stand strong as co-managers of both natural and cultural resources in our homeland. We have confidence in our future with great promise of successful economic development and social services, providing employment opportunities and much needed resources for our Tribal members and the local communities. We celebrate the culmination of years of effort seeking a Cowlitz reservation. I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by our tribe throughout history to regain a place of our own in our homeland. Many have worked hard on our behalf and they rejoice with us today. Congratulations to all of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Your determination and dedication have all played an important role in this historic achievement. As we move into the fall of 2011, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe has held many important events already this year, including the Canoe Journey from Fort Vancouver to Swinomish, the Canoe Races and Canoe family honoring dinner at Mayfield Lake, the First Salmon Ceremony at Olequa, Kids Camp, Huckleberry Camp, the Twelfth Annual Cowlitz Pow Wow at Saint Mary’s, the Health Walk. Thank you to all of our Cowlitz members, Culture Committee, and our staff for their effort, time and dedication in making the preceding events possible.

They provide services including 14 health care, education, housing, public safety, courts, 10 transportation, natural resources, environment, culture 23 and economic development. Gaming revenue is a major source of funding to pay for tribal government services. 11 Tribes are investing in new initiatives to diversify their economic base. Investments range from hotels to golf 1 courses to shopping centers. 19 Tribes employ more than 30,000 people statewide and pay more than $1.5 billion annually in wages and benefits. Capital spending, and the purchase of goods and services from private companies, adds billions more dollars to the state’s economy each year. Tribal economic activities also generate millions of dollars in federal, state and local taxes. 29 Washingtontribes.org is a public education program of the Washington Indian Gaming Association. washingtontribes.org 3 1.
