Native People
North Cascades National Park l?ETili¥»fcfcM:r.E£l Ross Lake National Recreation Area Lake Chelan National Recreation Area Ross Lake and Lake Chelan U.S. Department of the Interior Native People Indigenous Native people have lived along the Skagit River for many centuries. Many different bands have traditionally occupied the Skagit valley. Today these bands are People represented by the Upper Skagits, the Sauk and Suiattle tribes, and the Swinomish. Archeologists have found evidence that the Upper Skagit band lived in the area now called Ross Lake National Recreation Area at least 8,000 years ago. The archeology of this area tells the story of a people who lived from the land through fishing, hunting, and gathering. The Newhalem area is a known fishing and hunting area as well as the head of canoe travel on the Skagit River. The name "Newhalem" is a corrupted Lushootseed word for "place where the goats are snared." (Lushootseed is the language of the native people around Puget Sound.) In the winter, you can often find the mountain goat on the slopes visible from near the North Cascades Visitor Center near Newhalem. The mountain goat provided wool which was used to make clothing and blankets. Newhalem was also a place for salmon fishing. It is evident each autumn, when the salmon are spawning, why the Upper Skagits chose this area to fish. The archeology that has been done in the North Cascades National Park so far has only scratched the surface of the story of these ancestors. North Newhalem is only one place that has been traditionally used. -
Manufacturing and Industrial Center Planned Action
Manufacturing and Industrial Center Planned Action Final Environmental Impact Statement January 2021 Prepared by: BERK Consulting, Inc. Cultural Resource Consultants, LLC Hererra Inc., Environmental Consultants Transpo Group Cover Letter January 11, 2021 Subject: Cascade Industrial Center Planned Action EIS Dear Reader, The Cascade Industrial Center (formerly called the Arlington-Maryville Manufacturing Industrial Center or AMMIC) is a vibrant industrial employment center for the city of Arlington. Given the area’s importance to the local and regional economy, and its desire to keep the center vital and thriving, the City completed a subarea plan that included a vision, and goals and policies for the future. This proposal is to adopt a Planned Action consistent with RCW 43.21c.440 and associated Comprehensive Plan amendments to address necessary capital investments that study implementation of the AMMIC Subarea Plan. The Draft EIS on the proposal was issued on October 1, 2020. The City evaluated three alternatives in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS): . No Action Alternative – The Current Comprehensive Plan and Zoning would be retained and allow modest job increases. Given current market conditions this is likely to reflect existing job sectors in the subarea. Alternative 1: Cascade Center Vision Job Sectors: Alternative 1 is based on the vision for job growth, geographical distribution, and sector mix of the AMMIC Subarea Plan. Higher density employment is anticipated on sites identified as “opportunity sites” in the Subarea Plan and development at existing employment density is anticipated on the remaining sites with development capacity. Employment uses would be designed to take advantage of the area’s natural features, including a relocated Edgecomb Creek. -
Introduction: Listening to ʔəms Tɑʔɑw
Introduction: Listening to ʔəms tɑʔɑw Paige Raibmon he history written as I remember it,” said Elsie, expressing her sense of this project. It was December 2011, and we were in North Vancouver at her granddaughter Harmony’s “Thouse, visiting and working on this book. We were playing around with potential titles, and earlier that day, Harmony and I had sug- gested “Chi-chia’s Teachings.” “Chi-chia,” which means “grandmother” in the Sliammon1 language, had seemed a logical word to include in the title: many people call Elsie “Chi-chia,” not just her biological grand children; moreover, Elsie’s own Chi-chia has always been im- portant to her. “Teachings” is the word Elsie uses to refer to the ɬaʔamɩn ways, beliefs, values, and practices that she recounts in this book. But to Elsie’s ears, “Chi-chia’s Teachings” sounded didactic and overemphasized her as an individual. The teachings, she re- minded us, do not belong to any individual; they are “ʔəms tɑʔɑw” or “our teachings.” ʔəms tɑʔɑw are, as she later explained, “the very essence of our well-being.” The phrase “the history written as I re- member it” was not Elsie’s suggestion for a title but was instead part of her extended explanation of the problems with our proposal. The phrase stayed with me, however, and I jotted it down. I felt slightly clever, as though I had salvaged a fragment of verbal ephemera. Several months later, in need of a working title to submit to the press, I shared my notes with Harmony, and we decided to use “The History Written As I Remember It.” Good thing I wrote that down, I thought, feeling slightly cleverer. -

Emigh, Chair This study uses narrative analysis to examine how racial, ethnic, and national schemas were mobilized by social actors to categorize Duwamish identity from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. In so doing, it evaluates how the classificatory schemas of non- indigenous actors, particularly the state, resembled or diverged from Duwamish self- understandings and the relationship between these classificatory schemes and the configuration of political power in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. The earliest classificatory schema applied to the Duwamish consisted of a racial category “Indian” attached to an ethno- national category of “tribe,” which was honed during the treaty period. After the “Indian wars” of 1855-56, this ethno-national orientation was supplanted by a highly racialized schema aimed at the political exclusion of “Indians”. By the twentieth century, however, formalized racialized exclusion was replaced by a racialized ethno-national schema by which tribal membership was defined using a racial logic of blood purity. -
Volcanic Hazards • Washington State Is Home to Five Active Volcanoes Located in the Cascade Range, East of Seattle: Mt
CITY OF SEATTLE CEMP – SHIVA GEOLOGIC HAZARDS Volcanic Hazards • Washington State is home to five active volcanoes located in the Cascade Range, east of Seattle: Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens (see figure [Cascades volcanoes]). Washington and California are the only states in the lower 48 to experience a major volcanic eruption in the past 150 years. • Major hazards caused by eruptions are blast, pyroclastic flows, lahars, post-lahar sedimentation, and ashfall. Seattle is too far from any volcanoes to receive damage from blast and pyroclastic flows. o Ash falls could reach Seattle from any of the Cascades volcanoes, but prevailing weather patterns would typically blow ash away from Seattle, to the east side of the state. However, to underscore this uncertainty, ash deposits from multiple pre-historic eruptions have been found in Seattle, including Glacier Peak (less than 1 inch) and Mt. Mazama/Crater Lake (amount unknown) ash. o The City of Seattle depends on power, water, and transportation resources located in the Cascades and Eastern Washington where ash is more likely to fall. Seattle City Light operates dams directly east of Mt. Baker and in Pend Oreille County in eastern Washington. Seattle’s water comes from two reservoirs located on the western slopes of the Central Cascades, so they are outside the probable path of ashfall. o If heavy ash were to fall over Seattle it would create health problems, paralyze the transportation system, destroy many mechanical objects, endanger the utility networks and cost millions of dollars to clean up. Ash can be very dangerous to aviation. -
Guide to Art: Sounder Commuter Rail
Sounder commuter rail Art adds interest and meaning to public places. Art celebrates the history, culture and people of a community. Art tells a story. The Sound Transit art program, STart, brings an artist’s perspective to what is mainly an engineering and architectural undertaking. Many aspects of the Sound Transit system of buses and trains are transformed by art. Community representatives help select the artists and approve the artwork. ALL STATIONS Artist-designed “Welcome Mats” serve as door markers on the station platforms. The “Welcome Mats” mark where the commuter train doors open when the train pulls into the station. The “Welcome Mat” design was derived from a late 1800’s quilt pattern called “Railroad Quilt.” KING STREET STATION The Sounder station canopy support columns feature 26 stainless steel and aluminum wind-activated sculptures. A series of articulated metal strips hanging from the pivoting vane “Welcome Mats” at a Sounder allows the artwork to not only reveal the direction of the wind but also its shape. “The brushed surface station designed by artist Jerry Mayer of the metal reflects the colors of the sky and the nearby buildings. The metaphor is one of passage, glints of light reflecting from a field of metallic grass.” Artist Ned Kahn. “Moto/motor/to move/motion- that’s the starting point”, says Jerry Mayer of his artwork “Moto,” traffic- type 4’x4’ signs covered in a range of colorful reflective material. These are attached to sixteen columns opposite the commuter rail platform. Each sign/artwork has imagery of a simple black shape made up of a combination of traffic sign symbols from arrows, crosses, “Y”s and “T”s. -

Seattle University Tarseblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden Master Plant List Version 7.0 (Revised 9/9/2019)
Seattle University taRSeblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden Master Plant List Version 7.0 (Revised 9/9/2019) This Lushootseed language plant list was originally commissioned in 2005 for the creation of Seattle University’s taRSeblu Vi Hilbert Ethnobotanical Garden. It was first prepared by linguist Zalmai (Zeke) Zahir and reviewed for accuracy by native Lushootseed speaker taRSeblu Vi Hilbert. In subsequent years, there have been supplements and slight revisions to the list, but it remains incomplete and does not fully reflect the richness, depth and diversity of spoken Lushootseed. The Lushootseed language is alive and changing, and this list should reflect those changes: we encourage community members to contact Professor Rob Efird at [email protected] with any suggestions for further revisions. TiGicid! (Thank you!) People often want to know what “the” Lushootseed term is for a given plant. However, there are often several terms for a given plant, reflecting such things as the variety of local usages, regional variations, and changes over time. For example, linguists have roughly divided Lushootseed into northern and southern dialects, and there are sometimes (but not always) different terms that correspond to this rough division. Where known, we have tried to indicate these regional associations in the list. In addition, some of the terms are associated with a specific native Lushootseed speaker who provided them, and these sources are indicated where they are known. Some of the terms or their explanations are specifically associated with written or online resources, such as the Lushootseed Dictionary or the webpages of the Tulalip Lushootseed program, and these too are indicated.
