  • King County and Western Washington Cultural Geography, Communities, Their History and Traditions - Unit Plan
    Northwest Heritage Resources King County and Western Washington Cultural Geography, Communities, Their History and Traditions - Unit Plan Enduring Cultures Unit Overview: Students research the cultural geographies of Native Americans living in King County and the Puget Sound region of Washington (Puget Salish), then compare/contrast the challenges and cultures of Native American groups in King County and Puget Sound to those of Asian immigrant groups in the same region. Used to its fullest, this unit will take nine to ten weeks to complete. Teachers may also elect to condense/summarize some of the materials and activities in the first section (teacher-chosen document-based exploration of Native American cultures) in order to focus on the student-directed research component. List of individual lesson plans: Session # Activity/theme 1 Students create fictional Native American families, circa 1820-1840, of NW coastal peoples. 2* Students introduce the characters, develop their biographies as members of specific tribes (chosen from those in the Northwest Heritage Resources website searchable database) 3* The fictional characters will practice a traditional art. Research NWHR database to browse possibilities, select one. Each student will learn something about the specific form s/he chose for his/her characters. Students will also glean from actual traditional artists' biographies what sorts of challenges the artists have faced and what sorts of goals they have that are related to their cultural traditions and communities. 4* Cultural art forms: Students deepen their knowledge of one or more art forms. 5 Teacher creates basic frieze: large map of Oregon territory and Canadian islands/ coastal region.

  • RIGHTS of the PUGET SOUND INDIANS to GAME and FISH* the Indian of Puget Sound Stands Unique in Indian History. Ever and Always H
    RIGHTS OF THE PUGET SOUND INDIANS TO GAME AND FISH* The Indian of Puget Sound stands unique in Indian history. Ever and always has he supported and subsisted himself. Never has he been supported or subsisted either by the Federal Government or by the State Government. There is a common misapprehension that the Government feeds. clothes and maintains him but that is a mistake. The Government does none of these things and has never done any of them. The Indian has supported and maintained himself. No Indian has given more to the white man-no Indian has received less. Even during the Indian War the Indians of the T ulalip Agency were the friends and allies of the Government and maintained, under Pat Kanim, a band of eighty friendly Indian scouts cooperating with the military forces of the United States Government. The treaty of Point Elliott was made by Governor Isaac Ingalls Stevens at Mukilteo or Point Elliott. Washington.-January 22nd. 1855 (12 Stats., 927.) This treaty established the T ulalip Agency and its reservations-T ulalip. Lummi. Swinomish and Port Madison (or "Old Man House.") By this treaty the Indians of T ulalip Agency ceded to the white man all of the land lying between the summit of the Cascades. the western shore of Puget Sound. Point Pully or Three-Tree Point. and the inter­ national boundary line. This area includes all the land lying in the counties of Snohomish. Skagit. Whatcom. Island.

Stevens dispatched Simmons, Shaw, Cushman, Cock and Ford to assemble the remaining tribes of the Nisqually Nation at Point Elliott for a second council.). This was assembled on January 12th and continued until the 21st. No special difficulty was encountered in the negotiations, but nearly 2,300 Indians were present, and many speeches were made. The governor first explained the purpose of the council as before, and was followed by Colonel Simmons, who spoke the Chinook Jargon, a language which they nearly all understood, and by Secretary Mason. The Indians then sang a mass, after the Catholic form, and recited a prayer, after which the treaty was read and interpreted sentence by sentence by Colonel Shaw.

  • Native American Winters Doctrine and Stevens Treaty Water Rights: Recognition, Quantification, Management
    AMERICAN INDIAN LAW JOURNAL Volume II, Issue I – Fall 2013 NATIVE AMERICAN WINTERS DOCTRINE AND STEVENS TREATY WATER RIGHTS: RECOGNITION, QUANTIFICATION, MANAGEMENT Rachael Paschal Osborn* INTRODUCTION Tribes of the Pacific Northwest hold two types of water rights. First are the traditional on-reservation water rights recognized in Winters v. United States.1 Second, certain tribes hold unique habitat-based water rights that derive from reserved fishing rights contained in treaties negotiated by Washington Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens (and thus known as Stevens Treaty water rights), and that exist both on and off reservation at traditional fishing areas reserved in the treaties. This article examines the content and scope of these two types of Native American water rights. Part I discusses the basis of tribal rights in terms of the value of water to tribes. Part II(A) describes the Winters doctrine, the legal framework by which all tribes in the United States own and enjoy water rights associated with their reservations.

  • Lummi Nation Atlas
    Lummi Nation Atlas March 2016 An overview of the history, natural and economic resources, and government of the Lummi Nation Cover art courtesy of Vincent Feliciano Jr., House of the Salish Sun Arts Artist’s Statement: My name is Vincent Feliciano Jr. I am a member of the Lummi Nation. My mother is Sheri James, an enrolled Lummi, we are of the Lhaq te mish (survivors of the flood). My mother’s mother was Velma Jefferson (Lummi/James Town Schel al em) and my mother’s father was Joe James (Lummi/Skagit/Duwamish). My father was Vincent Feliciano Sr., a Native from Hawaii, and his mother was Francis Feliciano. My uncle, the late Dale James, was an internationally known master carver of the Lummi Nation and a founder of “The House of Tears Carvers”. My uncle, Jewell James (Praying Wolf), is the current master carver of the Lummi Nation and the head carver of “The House of Tears Carvers”. My uncles have been very influential in my path as an artist. I have learned from my uncles, and other artists, about painting and carving techniques, about Coast Salish art forms, the influential styles of the Haida and Tlingit, and many others. As an artist, I love and respect traditional coastal art forms. This love and respect for traditional coastal art forms is best conveyed in my hand-carvings of native woods, primarily western red cedar and yellow cedar. As an artist I also enjoy adapting traditional styles and techniques to modern media. I extend coastal art by fusing the traditional with the modern incorporating photography and fashion design in expressions on cloth, canvas, paper, and leather drums using paint, silk-screening, and graphics editing software.
