Skokomish Tribe 2016 State of Our Watersheds Report Skokomish-Dosewallips Basin he Skokomish Tribe is wholly devoted to restoring the TSkokomish watershed and its resources – not just for the next five years, not just for another 40 years, but forever. We must continue healing the environment that we depend upon for survival. The health and well-being of the Skokomish watershed is vital to the Skokomish tribal culture, tradition, subsistence and economy. – JOSEPH PAVEL SKOKOMISH TRIBE Skokomish Tribe The Twana (ancestors of the Skokomish people) were the first human inhabitants of the south Hood Canal region, with villages and fishing camps located near streams where they could take advantage of plen- tiful fish and shellfish resources. At the signing of the Point No Point Treaty of 1855, the Skokomish Tribe ceded their traditional lands to the U.S. government, and Washington’s Gov. Isaac I. Stevens assured the Tribe that they could continue Seattle to gather food at the accustomed locations. However, during this period, Euro-Americans began farming the floodplains, cutting the forests, and shellfish and fish resources began to be harvested by settlers. Today, the region is largely rural and forested, communities still rely on logging, fishing, shellfish and recreation. Unfortunately, there have been major land-use impacts on Treaty-protected resources includ- ing salmon habitat. Dam construction, floodplain and shoreline development, and roads and logging have had their impacts. Skokomish Tribe 221 The Hood Canal Watershed: Home of the Skokomish Tribe Hood Canal is a natural, glacier-carved fjord separating the Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas. It stretches 68 miles from the northern tip of the Kitsap peninsula to Lynch Cove, forming an L-shape that remains narrow, ranging from 1.5 to 2 miles across. The canal includes portions of Mason, Jefferson and Kitsap coun- ties. The Skokomish Reservation is located near the Big Bend of southern Hood Canal at the mouth of the Skokomish River. Major rivers entering Hood Canal from the steep eastern slopes of the Olympic Mountains include the Skokomish, Dosewallips and Big Quilcene rivers. Historically, the economy of the Hood Canal region relied largely on shellfish harvesting, commercial fisheries, commercial forestry, tourism and agriculture. Unfortunately, habitat quality, which sustains the economic activities of Hood Canal, has dimin- ished due to multiple causes including: roads and land develop- ment, stream modifications, shoreline development, and water pollution from sediment, nutrients and pathogens. Roughly 48% of the Hood Canal watershed land area is under Flickr user Lana_aka_BADGRL federal jurisdiction in Olympic National Park, Olympic National Hood Canal, looking toward the Olympic Mountains.

Declining From 2005 to 2014, Mason County had 202 hydraulic project approvals issued, resulting in an additional 1.6 miles of armored Shoreline Modifications / Forage Fish shoreline. This was the greatest amount in any Puget Sound County, while 714 feet of armoring were removed, resulting in a net Declining increase of about 1.5 miles of armored shoreline. From 2010-2014, water wells were increased by 4%. Of these 256 new wells, 112 (44%) were within 1 mile of Hood Canal Water Wells shoreline. Declining From 2006 to 2011 the Hood Canal Watershed experienced a 3.4% decrease in forest cover. In addition, from 2008 to present 37 Timber Harvest square miles have been or have the potential of being harvested within the Skokomish Tribe’s Area of Focus. Declining Twenty-six (17 active & 9 completed) riparian planting projects have be implemented on agricultural buffers in the Hood Canal watershed. In Skokomish watershed, 300 riparian acres have been planted in the last 5 yrs by the Mason Conservation District. Restoration Improving The tribe has built the Potlatch Waste Water Treatment Plant which is owned and operates. The plant will help alleviate the many problems of on-site septic systems in the Hood Canal Watershed. The Tribe continues to work toward the protection and restoration of healthy and functional nearshore, estuarine and river habitat, restoring those areas that are degraded, and conducting research to understand the organisms and the habitats they occupy. Looking Ahead Examples of issues and opportunities that may affect the future of watershed health in Hood Canal include management of the following: • Water quantity and quality monitoring; • Water conservation; • Water supply and use; • Septic system; • Animal manure and pet waste; • Stormwater; • Habitat; • Funding; • Education, communication, and outreach; and • Enforcement.3 The four pressures that carried a “very high” rating as priorities in the Hood Canal Integrated Watershed Plan are the following: • Commercial and residential development; • Transportation and service corridors; • Climate change and ocean acidification; and • Wastewater discharges and stormwater runoff.4 Skokomish Tribe 223 Skokomish Indian Tribe Hood Canal Watershed Land Hood Canal is a natural, glacier-carved Jurisdiction fjord separating the Olympic and Kitsap peninsulas.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Case of the Two Ladies and the Owl How a Disagreement Can Help a Dying Language Speak]
    The case of the two ladies and the owl How a disagreement can help a dying language speak] Nile R. Thompson and C. Dale Sloat Dushuyay Research Portland, OR In this brief article we examine an episode that took place as the Salishan language Twana was about to enter the last phase of its existence and show how infonnation gleaned at that time can be meaningful in analyzing the language and related cognitive structures as they existed during the heyday of the culture. We will demonstrate that insights are captured regarding not only the process of the language's death but also regarding th~ field of ethnoscience. 1 Introduction Too often, it is thought that research conducted after a language has ceased to be used in daily activities can only be made productive by asking the most insightful of questions. A scarcity of speaker to speaker interactions in the language means that one type of valued data will no longer be available. In this presentation, we will attempt to demonstrate that valuable insights can still be gained? In order to assist in our presentation, we will bring in the observations of two noted researchers to introduce and discuss what occurred. Unknown to many, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson turned to the study of Salishan languages after they retired from criminal investigations.3 They found their earlier training and experience to be' eminently transferable to their new endeavor.4 I Thompson would like to express his appreciation to Louisa Pulsifer who taught him about Twana language and culture from 1975 until her death in 1979.
