By Sue Shotwell The Increasing demand for oysters has put the Nisqually Shellfish farm in an excellent strategic position. The original investment in shellfish farming has provided several opportunities, benefits, and attention to Nisqually Tribe. Our oysters are requested frequently by New York City oyster coin- sures. We are fully integrated to harvest, process, and ship fine Nisqually shellfish products throughout the country. Recently, we had our buyer from NYC visit our farm. The low tide had just exposed the surface of our single oyster operation. He looked out and said to me, “I’ll take them all.” It’s a great feeling to see all the hard work and long hours finally being enjoyed by all. Other recent visitors to the farm included members of USDA. Twelve peo- ple including the Assistant Chief of USDA put boots on and got muddy. Several members of USDA/NRCS had visited the farm shortly after pur- chase. They were impressed to see all the work we had done since their first visit in 2010. Alvin Broussard We are working with USDA/NRCS on Japanese oyster drill removal. We are on our second year of drill removal, which keeps us constantly on the lookout for drills and their associated egg cases. Much of the ground had been covered with old shell, which then became an excellent habitat for the drill. We are in the process of slowly removing the old shell, with hopes of decreasing the population. Other topics of discussion are always water quality. Water quality contin- ues to be a concern, and we must be diligent on efforts to continue to monitor conditions while identifying areas in need of improvement. Currently, we are preparing to receive seed for our future crop. Tending these baby oysters consumes much time as they grow, and must be cleaned and sorted frequently. While you may have noticed the work on the farm is never done, we are just trying to keep pace with the demands of production and daily farming activities. While Henderson Inlet provides rich food sources for oysters, this food Derick Sanchez spurs the growth of barnacles and other fouling organisms. This rich pro- duction can cause our oysters to be totally covered in organisms. While this is a healthy sign of richness and diversity of the inlet, it poses much work for our employees to clean the gear and prepare the oysters for market. Just goes to show that a farmer’s work is never done!

The new addition will not affect the operations of the current store except for a minor change in the entrance to the drive-in during construction. The expansion will include offices for the Nisqually Construction Company on the second floor and a mixture of retail on the ground floor. “We are going to have a mail shop, kind of like a UPS store, but we’re going to run it,” Iyall said. Other tenants are still being decided, but will probably include some sort of fast food business. The Nisqually Construction Company will build the project and that will include four to five tribal member jobs through TERO. Meanwhile, the Frederickson store that opened in the fall of 2017 is doing quite well. “In that location, we are serving a number of companies that have 24-hour operations such as Boeing and JBLM. We’re already selling twice as much gas there as we do at our reservation store.” Additionally, the deli is in high demand due to the shift workers.

  • Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project
    Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Preliminary Environmental Assessment Bonneville Power Administration Fort Lewis Military Reservation Nisqually Indian Tribe Bureau of Indian Affairs October 2004 Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Responsible Agencies and Tribe: U.S. Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville); U.S. Department of Defense, Fort Lewis Military Reservation (Fort Lewis); the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA); and the Nisqually Indian Tribe (Tribe). Name of Proposed Project: Nisqually Transmission Line Relocation Project Abstract: Bonneville proposes to remove and reroute two parallel transmission lines that cross the Nisqually Indian Reservation in Thurston County, Washington. Bonneville’s easement across the Reservation for a portion of the Olympia-Grand Coulee line has expired. Though Bonneville has a perpetual easement for the Olympia-South Tacoma line across the Reservation, the Tribe has asked Bonneville to remove both lines so the Tribe can eventually develop the land for its community. The land fronts State Route 510 and is across the highway from the Tribe’s Red Wind Casino. In addition, the Tribe would like Bonneville to remove the two lines from a parcel next to the Reservation that Fort Lewis owns. The Tribe is working with Fort Lewis to obtain this parcel, which also has frontage on SR 510. Bonneville is proposing to remove the portions of these lines on the Reservation and on the Fort-owned parcel and rebuild them south of SR 510 on Fort Lewis property. Fort Lewis is willing to have these lines on their federal property, in exchange for other in-holdings currently owned by Thurston County that the Tribe would purchase and turn over to Fort Lewis.

Billy Frank, Jr., continues to inspire those still around today and those still to come.” Billy Frank Jr., a member of the Nisqually Tribe, was a longtime Indian treaty rights and environmental activist, known for leading the fight to restore and protect Treaty fishing rights in Washington state. For decades, he organized demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience to fight for tribal rights, culminating in the 1979 Supreme Court decision in Washington v. Washington State Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel Ass’n, which affirmed the treaty rights of tribes to fair fishing access.

The event was well attended and featured a seasonal dinner, cider pressing with the apples from the Garden, and an abundant giveaway of food and medicine. We would like to give a big thanks to our volunteers, the Youth Center staff, and our garden staff, especially our extraordinary seasonal crew as they are finishing up their work for the year. As we continually gather community feedback, our programing has grown and evolved over the years. In the past couple years we have increased services to Nisqually Elders. This year we completed our second season of the Elders Home Delivery program – this year 24 Nisqually Elders received a box of assorted produce from the Garden each week through the peak season. Also, in collaboration with the Nisqually AmeriCorps crew, we built raised garden beds in the yards of 5 Elders and provided seeds and starts for their own gardens. We will continue to build raised garden beds for 5 Elders each spring. In addition to increasing services to Elders, we have also expanded our nutrition education and medicinal plant program over the past several years.

STAFF CONTACT: Scott Spence, City Manager Rick Walk, Community and Economic Development Director Ryan Andrews, Planning Manager ORIGINATED BY: Community and Economic Development Department ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Buildable Lands Report FISCAL NOTE: None PRIOR REVIEW: None BACKGROUND: Since 1997, the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) has required the state’s fastest growing counties (including Thurston County) to periodically review and evaluate development trends to ensure consistency with GMA, countywide planning policies and comprehensive plans (RCW 36.70A.215). This report — known as the Buildable Lands Report — answers two key questions: 1. Are we achieving urban densities for new development in our urban areas? and 2. Is there sufficient land in our urban areas for 20 years of growth? If the report finds that Thurston County is not meeting these goals, cities and the County are required to identify “reasonable measures” that would bring development trends into alignment with countywide planning policies and comprehensive plans.

  • Jurisdiction Indian Law Study Material
    Chapter One Jurisdiction: Bringing Clarity Out of Chaos Under the United States’ Federal system, States and localities, such as counties and cities, have primary responsibility for criminal justice. They define crimes, conduct law enforcement activity, and impose sanctions on wrongdoers. Police officers, criminal investigators, prosecutors, public defenders and criminal defense counsel, juries, and magistrates and judges are accountable to the communities from which victims and defendants hail. Jails and detention centers often are located within those same communities. It’s the American Way: local communities address local criminal justice problems with locally controlled and accountable institutions. In contrast, the Federal government’s role is limited to enforcing laws of general application,1 and even then, Federal agencies often work in partnership with State and local authorities. This familiar framework stands in stark contrast to the arrangements in federally recognized Indian country, where U.S. law requires Federal and State superintendence of the vast majority of criminal justice services and programs over local Tribal governments. In recent decades, as the Tribal sovereignty and self-determination movement endorsed by every U.S. president since Richard Nixon has taken hold, Tribal governments have sought greater management of their own assets and affairs, including recovering primary responsibility over criminal justice within their local Tribal communities.
