EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This project is important because very little information on tribal offenses has been reported. • Reportable information was available on 43 of the 47 tribal agencies for at least one of the years from 2004-2008. • Tribal agencies furnishing information for this report had very high offense clearance rates with 60.7 percent of all crimes cleared in 2004, 87.6 percent cleared in 2005, 42.4 percent in 2006, 55.9 percent in 2007, and 61.4 percent in 2008. The overall average for the five years is 58.0%. In considering the aggregate results for the five years, the offenses with the highest clearance rates included: homicide (87.0%), elderly abuse (86.0%), disorderly conduct (80.6%), drunkenness (80.0%), child abuse (78.4%), liquor laws (75.2%), and aggravated assault (74.7%). • The aggregate clearance rates reported by the tribes were significantly higher for each of the eight Index crimes than it was for all reporting agencies in the U.S, non-metropolitan agencies in the U.S., and law enforcement agencies in the Western U.S. • In considering the total number of offenses for 2004-2008, alcohol was involved in about one-third of the offenses. • As would be expected the direct substance use crimes of drunkenness (85.8%), liquor laws (74.3%), and DWI (72.3%) had the highest percent of alcohol involvement. Alcohol use for non-direct alcohol offenses was most common for: disorderly conduct (68.9%), elderly abuse (58.1%), child abuse (56.1%), homicide (55.0%), attempted forcible rape (52.1%), aggravated assault (48.9%), and assault (46.2%). • Outside of direct drug violations (74.4%), the influence of drug use was most common for: prostitution/commercialized vice (17.4%), attempted suicide (7.5%), stolen property (7.3%), completed suicide (7.1%), elderly abuse (7.0%), and homicide (7.0%). • The most commonly reported offenses (outside ‘All Other Offenses’) were: drunkenness, disorderly conduct, liquor laws, DWI, suspicious person report, assault, and domestic violence. • Index crime rates for the combined tribal groups were: 2004 (2933), 2005 (3182) 2006 (3413), 2007 (3443), and 2008 (2472). These rates were relatively low when compared with the overall United States rates of 3977 for 2004, 3901 for 2005, 3809 for 2006 and 3731 for 2008.

INTRODUCTION According to the 2000 census, American Indians and Alaska Natives account for about 1.5 percent or 4.3 million people in the United States. Most (2.5 million) of these listed “American Indian” or “Alaska Native” as their only racial category, while some (1.8 million) indicated “ American Indian” or “Alaska Native” along with one or more additional race categories. It is estimated that nearly half (43.5%) of all American Indians/Alaska Natives reside on Federal reservations or in a tribal statistical area during the 2000 Census.1 The percents by state of American Indian or Alaska Native for the states covered in this report are: Alaska (16.0%), Washington, (1.7%), Idaho (1.4%), Oregon (1.4%), Montana (6.5%), and Wyoming (2.4%).2 The offense information for the report was provided by the Office of Law Enforcement and Security within District 5 of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Billings, Montana. District 5 includes three regions (Mountain, Northwest, and Juneau) with 47 Tribes, covering the states of Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The report is segmented into three separate reports. The first Section presents the overall results, the second Section provides information by each of the six states, and third Section presents information by tribe or special law enforcement agency.

  • Supp III a Basin Description
    Supplement Section III — Basin Description Information Base Part A — Basin Description The Chehalis River Basin is the largest river basin in western Washington. With the exception of the Columbia River basin, it is the largest in the state. The basin extends over eight counties. It encompasses large portions of Grays Harbor, Lewis, and Thurston counties, and smaller parts of Mason, Pacific, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, and Jefferson counties. For purposes of water resources planning under the Washington State Watershed Planning Act of 1998, the Chehalis Basin was divided into two Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs), WRIA 22 and WRIA 23, depicted here with surrounding WRIA numbers and in relation to the whole state of Washington. Chehalis Basin Watershed — County Land Areas County Area (sq.mi.) Area (acres) Percentage Grays Harbor 1,390 889,711 50.3% Thurston 323 206,446 11.7% Lewis 770 493,103 27.9% Mason 206 132,146 7.5% Pacific 66 42,040 2.4% Cowlitz 8 5,427 0.3% Jefferson 2 1,259 0.07% Wahkiakum .1 37 0.002% Total 2,766 1,770,169 Source: Chehalis Watershed GIS Watershed Boundaries The basin is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by the Deschutes River Basin, on the north by the Olympic Mountains, and on the south by the Willapa Hills and Cowlitz River Basin. Elevations vary from sea level at Grays Harbor to the 5,054-foot Capitol Peak in the Olympic National Forest. The basin consists of approximately 2,766 square miles. The Chehalis WRIA 22 River system flows through three distinct eco-regions before emptying into Grays Harbor near Aberdeen (Omernik, 1987): • The Cascade ecoregion (including the Olympic Mountains) is char- acterized by volcanic/sedimentary bedrock formations.

Dr. Lyman (1988) noted that the view that mountain goat were not native to the Olympic Peninsula is based on an absence of biological reports, absence of historical and ethnographic records, and lack of archaeofaunal evidence of pre-1920s presence of the species in this region.

  • COAST SALISH SENSES of PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World
    COAST SALISH SENSES OF PLACE: Dwelling, Meaning, Power, Property and Territory in the Coast Salish World by BRIAN DAVID THOM Department of Anthropology, McGill University, Montréal March, 2005 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Brian Thom, 2005 Abstract This study addresses the question of the nature of indigenous people's connection to the land, and the implications of this for articulating these connections in legal arenas where questions of Aboriginal title and land claims are at issue. The idea of 'place' is developed, based in a phenomenology of dwelling which takes profound attachments to home places as shaping and being shaped by ontological orientation and social organization. In this theory of the 'senses of place', the author emphasizes the relationships between meaning and power experienced and embodied in place, and the social systems of property and territory that forms indigenous land tenure systems. To explore this theoretical notion of senses of place, the study develops a detailed ethnography of a Coast Salish Aboriginal community on southeast Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Through this ethnography of dwelling, the ways in which places become richly imbued with meanings and how they shape social organization and generate social action are examined. Narratives with Coast Salish community members, set in a broad context of discussing land claims, provide context for understanding senses of place imbued with ancestors, myth, spirit, power, language, history, property, territory and boundaries. The author concludes in arguing that by attending to a theorized understanding of highly local senses of place, nuanced conceptions of indigenous relationships to land which appreciate indigenous relations to land in their own terms can be articulated.
