  • Press Release Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation
    PRESS RELEASE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE COLVILLE RESERVATION For Immediate Release Contact: Neeka Somday March 20, 2020 509-634-2213 Colville Tribes Dispels Rumors of Martial Law NESPELEM, WA – Governor Jay Inslee of the State of Washington issued an emergency proclamation to battle the COVID-19 virus on February 29, 2020. As part of the proclamation, he activated personnel from the Washington National Guard at that time. A National Guard Bureau spokesperson said in a press release printed by the Military Times on March 13, 2020 that National Guard personnel have been activated across six states, including Washington, to stem the spread of COVID-19. The statement reads, “National Guard personnel will provide assistance to the states that include logistical support, disinfection / cleaning, activate / conduct transportation of medical personnel, call center support, and meal delivery.” There is currently no “shelter in place,” or shutdown, order that applies to the Colville Reservation or the State of Washington. Other locations within the United States, such as the state of California, have issued “shelter in place” directives to their residents. While such an order could come in the future, Governor Inslee has said to date that now is not the time for an order in Washington. Importantly, even where “shelter in place” orders do exist around the country, nowhere has there been a show of military force to restrict travel. The Washington National Guard issued a statement on March 19, 2020, which reads, “Emergencies are scary enough. Let’s not add to the fear by spreading misinformation . Let’s put aside the rumors about martial law or military rule.

  • CRSRI Bringing the Salmon Home 2020-21 Annual Report
    OUR LOGO STORY An artist from each Nation contributed an original salmon design to the unified logo for Bringing the Salmon Home: The Columbia River Salmon Reintroduction Initiative. Our logo was launched with our new website at ColumbiaRiverSalmon.ca on February 16, 2021. DARCY LUKE, KTUNAXA NATION Darcy Luke is a Ktunaxa artist versatile in different mediums. Darcy created a chinook salmon whose design symbolizes the life-giving generational legacy of the salmon. KELSEY JULES, SECWÉPEMC NATION Kelsey Jules is a Secwépemc and Syilx artist, model, and teacher. She is a member of Tk'emlups te Secwepemc. Kelsey’s sockeye salmon design embodies the vital relationship between salmon, land and water. TUNKA CIKALA, SYILX OKANAGAN NATION Tunka Cikala (Spirit Peoples) is a member of the Sinixt and Nespelem bands of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Spirit’s chinook salmon design is inspired by Syilx captíkwł teachings, illustrating the inseparable connections between salmon and culture. Here, Sen’k’lip (Coyote) with his Eagle staff brings salmon up the river to the people. Bear paw prints represent Skəmixst as well as the spots on the back of chinook salmon. The Syilx Okanagan captíkwł How Food Was Given relates how the Four Food Chiefs – Chief Skəmixst (Black Bear), Chief N’titxw (Chinook Salmon), Chief Spʼiƛ̕əm (Bitter Root), and Chief Siyaʔ (Saskatoon Berry), met the needs of the “People To Be”. 2 YEAR TWO OF OUR JOURNEY Five governments, one visionary agreement Bringing the Salmon Home: The Columbia River Salmon Reintroduction Initiative is the Indigenous-led collaboration of the Syilx Okanagan Nation, Ktunaxa Nation, Secwépemc Nation, Canada and British Columbia.

  • Native Perspectives on Sustainability: Jeannette Armstrong (Syilx)
    NPS: Armstrong 1 Native Perspectives on Sustainability: Jeannette Armstrong (Syilx) Interviewee: Jeanette Armstrong Interviewer: David E. Hall Date: 10/21/07 Transcribed: Brianna Finney DH: Thank you for taking your time with us today. As you know from our other conversations this project is about sustainability from the perspective of indigenous leaders and our aim is to hear from you on the subject today. JA: Okay DH: To start can you just share a little bit about yourself in terms of your background, cultural heritage, and your work? JA: My name is Jeannette Armstrong. My Okanagan Syilx name means something like the light, rippling off of moving water. It’s an image name. I come from the Okanagan, but my mother is from Kettle Falls at the Columbia River. The Okanagan River is the most northern area that the salmon reach in their spawn. I come from a people that were people that respected and loved salmon on the way to the Columbia. DH: So you mentioned some of the geography and the area that you are connected with. How would you define your community in terms of geography and people? JA: We’re Salishan peoples of the interior plateau. There are quite a number of Salishan tribes in the interior Columbia River Basin area, and we’re simply one of them. One of the things about the Okanagan is that, the Okanagan Lake System of course is quite a large lake system, and empties into the Okanagan River and meets the Columbia River at Brewster, Washington. So my Nation, the Okanagan Nation, is actually larger than the Okanagan valley and it was simply a name attributed to us because I guess the population of people in the Okanagan Valley was significant.

  • B.C. Court of Appeal Confirms Rights in Arrow Lakes
    Media Release | May 3, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE B.C. Court of Appeal Confirms Rights in Arrow Lakes tkwəɬniwt (Westbank), Syilx Okanagan Territory: The Chiefs of the Syilx Okanagan Nation welcome the May 2, 2019 decision of the British Columbia Court of Appeal in R. v. Desautel, recognizing and protecting Sinixt Aboriginal hunting rights in B.C. Sinixt are inextricably linked to our broader Syilx Okanagan Nation, sharing common language, culture, history, traditions and ancestry. As our Syilx communities include many Sinixt people, this confirmation that Sinixt rights continue to exist in Syilx Okanagan Territory is critically important, particularly in light of the Province of British Columbia’s previous denial of those rights. The case was an appeal of the BC Supreme Court’s affirmation of the BC Provincial Court’s March 27, 2017 decision that found that Richard DeSautel, a member of the Lakes Tribe of the Confederated Colville Tribes (CCT) and a United States citizen, has an Aboriginal right to hunt in the traditional territory of Sinixt people in British Columbia. The BC Court of Appeal dismissed the Province’s appeal and confirmed some key legal principles: • The Aboriginal perspective needs to be taken into account when assessing whether persons who are not resident or citizens of Canada can be “Aboriginal peoples of Canada”; • There is no requirement for there to be a modern-day community in the area where harvesting activities take place for an Aboriginal right to exist - this finding reflects the fact that Indigenous peoples were displaced through the process of colonization and that rights in the Arrow Lakes area were never voluntarily surrendered, abandoned or surrendered.

  • Okanagan Water Systems: an Historical Retrospect of Control, Domination and Change
    OKANAGAN WATER SYSTEMS: AN HISTORICAL RETROSPECT OF CONTROL, DOMINATION AND CHANGE by MARLOWE SAM B.A., The University of British Columbia - Okanagan, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2008 © Marlowe Sam, 2008 Abstract In this study, I examine the history of colonial control, domination, and change that began in the Interior Plateau region of British Columbia in 1811 when interaction between the Syilx (Okanagan) and European explorers first occurred. I focus on water use practices in particular, employing an indigenous Syilx approach (En’owkinwixw) in order to display the negative impacts of colonial policies on the Syilx and their environment. The En’owkinwixw methodology, which calls for the incorporation of multiple perspectives, is thousands of years old, but has been modified here from its original consensus-based decision-making process. The manner in which the U.S. government developed resource and water management policies in America’s arid Far West directly influenced the models that were later adopted by British Columbia and Canada. U.S. Supreme Court decisions along with a number of international treaties and trade agreements between the United States and Canada have also compromised the ability of the Syilx to maintain a sustainable and harmonious relationship with their environment. Depression era policies in the United States led to the implementation of large-scale projects such as the damming of the Columbia River that had further negative consequences on the environment of the Interior Plateau.
