    S q u a l l i A b s c h NewsNisqually Tribal News 4820 She-Nah-Num Dr. SE Olympia, WA 98513 Phone Number (360)456-5221 Volume 8, Issue 1 www.nisqually-nsn.gov January 2018 Reservation Nisqually Market to Expand By Debbie Preston The Nisqually Tribe’s reservation Nisqually Market will expand with a $3.5 million, 10,000-square-foot building in the new year, according to Bob Iyall, Medicine Creek Enterprise Corporation Chief Executive Officer. “The phase two was always in the original plans for the market,” Iyall said. 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.

  • A Report on Indian Township Passamaquoddy Tribal Lands In
    A REPORT ON INDIAN TOWNSHIP PASSAMAQUODDY TRIBAL LANDS IN THE VICINITY OF PRINCETON, MAINE Anthony J. Kaliss 1971 Introduction to 1971 Printing Over two years have passed since I completed the research work for this report and during those years first one thing and ttan another prevented its final completion and printing. The main credit for the final preparation and printing goes to the Division of Indian Services of the Catholic Diocese of Portland and the American Civil Liberities Union of Maine. The Dioscese provided general assistance from its office staff headed by Louis Doyle and particular thanks is due to Erline Paul of Indian Island who did a really excellent job of typing more than 50 stencils of title abstracts, by their nature a real nuisance to type. The American Civil Liberities Union contrib­ uted greatly by undertaking to print the report Xtfhich will come to some 130 pages. Finally another excellent typist must be thanked and that is Edward Hinckley former Commissioner of Indian Affairs who also did up some 50 stencils It is my feeling that this report is more timely than ever. The Indian land problems have still not been resolved, but more and more concern is being expressed by Indians and non-Indians that something be done. Hopefully the appearance of this report at this time will help lead to some definite action whether in or out of the courts. Further research on Indian lands and trust funds remains to be done. The material, I believe, is available and it is my hope that this report will stimulate someone to undertake the necessary work.

    Section II: Community Profile Section II Community Profile Hazard Mitigation Plan 2010 Update 9 [this page intentionally left blank] 10 Hazard Mitigation Plan 2010 Update Section II: Community Profile Community Profile Disclaimer: The Tulalip Tribes Tribal/State Hazard Mitigation Plan covers all the people, property, infrastructure and natural environment within the exterior boundaries of the Tulalip Reservation as established by the Point Elliott Treaty of January 22, 1855 and by Executive Order of December 23, 1873, as well as any property owned by the Tulalip Tribes outside of this area. Furthermore the Plan covers the Tulalip Tribes Usual and Accustom Fishing areas (U&A) as determined by Judge Walter E. Craig in United States of America et. al., plaintiffs v. State of Washington et. al., defendant, Civil 9213 Phase I, Sub Proceeding 80-1, “In Re: Tulalip Tribes’ Request for Determination of Usual and Accustom Fishing Places.” This planning scope does not limit in any way the Tulalip Tribes’ hazard mitigation and emergency management planning concerns or influence. This section will provide detailed information on the history, geography, climate, land use, population and economy of the Tulalip Tribes and its Reservation. Tulalip Reservation History Archaeologists and historians estimate that Native Americans arrived from Siberia via the Bering Sea land bridge beginning 17,000 to 11,000 years ago in a series of migratory waves during the end of the last Ice Age. Indians in the region share a similar cultural heritage based on a life focused on the bays and rivers of Puget Sound. Throughout the Puget Sound region, While seafood was a mainstay of the native diet, cedar trees were the most important building material.there were Cedar numerous was used small to tribesbuild both that subsistedlonghouses on and salmon, large halibut,canoes.

  • 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.

The research investigated questions of early Holocene wood artifact technologies and other plant use before the large-scale arrival of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), a cultural keystone species for Haida in more recent times. The project relied on small- scale excavations and sampling from two main areas of the site: a hearth complex and an activity area at the edge of a paleopond. The archaeobotanical assemblage from these two areas yielded 23 plant taxa representing 14 families in the form of wood, charcoal, seeds, and additional plant macrofossils.
