EXHIBIT 2 to Opening Statement and Direct Evidence: U.S EXHIBIT 2 To Opening Statement And Direct Evidence: U.S. Tribes ATTACHMENT A To Declaration Of Robert Purser, Jr. On Behalf Of The Suquamish Tribe 11/13/2018 Puget Sound orcas circle ferry carrying artifacts | The Seattle Times Puget Sound orcas circle ferry carrying artifacts seattletimes.com/seattle-news/puget-sound-orcas-circle-ferry-carrying-artifacts/ By DOUG ESSER Originally published October 31, 2013 at 2:28 pm Updated November 1, 2013 at 11:10 am A large pod of orcas swam around a Washington state ferry in an impressive display as it happened to be carrying tribal artifacts to a new museum at the ancestral home of Chief Seattle, and some people think it was more than a coincidence. Killer whales have been thrilling whale watchers this week in Puget Sound, according to the Orca Network, which tracks sightings. But they were especially exciting Tuesday when nearly three-dozen orcas surrounded the ferry from Seattle as it approached the terminal on Bainbridge Island. On board were officials from The Burke Museum in Seattle who were moving ancient artifacts to the Suquamish Museum. The artifacts were dug up nearly 60 years ago from the site of the Old Man House, the winter village for the Suquamish tribe and home of Chief Sealth, also known as Chief Seattle. The Burke, a natural history museum on the University of Washington campus, is known for Northwest Coast and Alaska Native art.

Also on board the state ferry was Suquamish Tribal Chairman Leonard Forsman who happened to be returning from an unrelated event. As the ferry slowed near the terminal, it was surrounded by the orcas, Forsman said Wednesday. “They were pretty happily splashing around, flipping their tails in the water,” he said. “We believe they were welcoming the artifacts home as they made their way back from Seattle, back to the reservation.” The killer whales have been in Puget Sound feeding on a large run of chum salmon, he said. “We believe the orcas took a little break from their fishing to swim by the ferry, to basically put a blessing on what we were on that day,” he said. Forsman believes there’s a spiritual tie between the tribe and the orcas. “They are fishermen like we are,” he said. It was an auspicious arrival for about 500 artifacts that The Burke Museum had held for nearly 60 years, Suquamish Museum Director Janet Smoak said. They include tools, decorative items and bits of bone and rock that date back 2,000 years. The Old Man House — the largest known longhouse on the Salish Sea — was located at Suquamish on the shore of Agate Passage, about 13 miles northwest of Seattle. Chief Sealth, for whom Seattle is named, is buried there. The longhouse was burned down by the U.S. government in the late 1800s. The artifacts were collected by a University of Washington archaeological investigation in the 1950s, according to the Burke museum. In 2012, the tribe completed its new museum, which includes a climate controlled environment. The artifacts will be displayed to illustrate Suquamish culture in an exhibit called Ancient Shores Changing Tides. Everyone was talking about the orcas at the Tuesday museum blessing ceremony and feast, Smoak said. “Everyone was really excited and moved by the event,” she said. The orcas, identified from their markings as members of the J and K pods, were seen this week along several routes between the Seattle area and the west side of Puget Sound, according to Howard Garrett of the Orca Network at Freeland. He thought their intersection with the ferry carrying tribal artifacts was uncanny. “I can’t rule out somehow they could pick up on the mental energy that there is something special there. Or it could be a coincidence,” he said. “I don’t know.” 2/2 https://www.seattle-news/puget-sound-orcas-circle-ferry-carrying-artifacts.

  • Battlefields & Treaties
    welcome to Indian Country Take a moment, and look up from where you are right now. If you are gazing across the waters of Puget Sound, realize that Indian peoples thrived all along her shoreline in intimate balance with the natural world, long before Europeans arrived here. If Mount Rainier stands in your view, realize that Indian peoples named it “Tahoma,” long before it was “discovered” by white explorers. Every mountain that you see on the horizon, every stand of forest, every lake and river, every desert vista in eastern Washington, all of these beautiful places are part of our Indian heritage, and carry the songs of our ancestors in the wind. As we have always known, all of Washington State is Indian Country. To get a sense of our connection to these lands, you need only to look at a map of Washington. Over 75 rivers, 13 counties, and hundreds of cities and towns all bear traditional Indian names – Seattle, Tacoma, Yakima, and Spokane among them. Indian peoples guided Lewis and Clark to the Pacifi c, and pointed them safely back to the east. Indian trails became Washington’s earliest roads. Wild salmon, delicately grilled and smoked in Alderwood, has become the hallmark of Washington State cuisine. Come visit our lands, and come learn about our cultures and our peoples. Our families continue to be intimately woven into the world around us. As Tribes, we will always fi ght for preservation of our natural resources. As Tribes, we will always hold our elders and our ancestors in respect. As Tribes, we will always protect our treaty rights and sovereignty, because these are rights preserved, at great sacrifi ce, ABOUT ATNI/EDC by our ancestors.

  • NATIVE AMERICAN HIGHLIGHTS of WASHINGTON Statepdf
    NATIVE AMERICAN HIGHLIGHTS OF WASHINGTON STATE & OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK (10 day) Fly-Drive Native American culture in the Pacific Northwest is unique and celebrated through the bold art and style of the diverse Northwest Coastal tribes that have been connected to one another for thousands of years through trade. This link is apparent in their art - masks, canoes, totem poles, baskets, clothing and bentwood boxes - using cedar, copper and other materials readily accessible in nature. Their art tells the stories of their lives through the centuries, passing history and wisdom from generation to generation. Native American culture is present in everyday life in Seattle from the totems that grace the parks and public spaces to the manhole covers on the streets. Along your journey, you will experience Seattle’s unique urban attractions, Bellingham’s historic seaport ambiance and the wild beauty of the Olympic Peninsula from lush old-growth forests to spectacular, untamed beaches. En route you’ll encounter the many ways Native American culture is woven into the fabric of the Pacific Northwest.
