Harbor Architects Artist Marvin Oliver talks about including native art in the new Generations Building during a dinner meeting at the Taholah Community Center on December 13th. Photo by Larry Workman The Planning Department is looking for Quinault artists to participate in integrating art into the design of the Generations Building. Artists will submit a portfolio to the Planning Department and, if selected, will be mentored by Marvin Oliver. Artists will create designs for future fabrication and will visit fabricators across the Northwest to expand their professional networks. Artists will be exposed to working with different materials with which they may not have experience. We are planning to incorporate designs by the artists into the building s landscape, structure and furnishings.

Photo by Larry Workman The Quileute Tribe is moving their community to higher ground. The tribe has begun clearing land for the relocation. The goal is to keep the people in the village of LaPush including the school, out of a tsunami and flood zone along the coast. The project was made possible by enactment of H.H.1162 in The law transferred 785 acres within the Olympic National Park to the tribe for the new village, a swap that was necessary because no other suitable areas were available. The tribe will move the Quileute Tribal School, its headquarters and the elders center to the new site. Construction of the new school could begin as soon as the spring of The Quileute project was among those selected by the BIA after the Obama administration restarted the school construction program.

You are all so wonderful and I truly feel blessed. I have spent most of this past summer in and out of Swedish. Moreover, this last time I was in Swedish for three weeks, my daughter Robin flew from St. Louis to be with me and stayed with me there for the last week of my stay at the hospital. She was by my side day and night. My daughter Tomi and Frank drove back and forth and stayed over in Seattle to be with me as well. My nephew Sonny was there almost every day. My room at Swedish was full of grandchildren: Richie, Montana, Stevie, Kobe, Charley and Feddie Krukoff. Also my great grandchildren Tein, Zoe, Mae and Harley.

Now that I m home I get to see and hear the ocean again, I get to go to the beach and watch all the clam diggers and all the beautiful things in life that you take for granted. I would like to pass on these words of wisdom to others, especially the elders. Take extreme care of yourselves: walk the beach, give up on soda pop, chips, and eat healthier foods. Same goes for the younger generation and especially my beautiful and amazing grandchildren and greatgrandchildren whom I love with all my heart and soul. My grandchildren are the world to me.

3 January 2018 Kilmer on Administration s Inadequate Disaster Relief Request and Public Lands Disaster Relief In late November, following the unveiling of the Trump Administration s request for disaster funding which ignored fishing communities in the Pacific Northwest, Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) made the following statement: The Trump Administration s request ignores a series of devastating natural disasters that have wreaked havoc on the livelihoods of folks in our fishing communities, Rep. Derek Kilmer said. Given the importance of our fisheries to this region s economy, it s a real disappointment that the administration is ignoring the needs of our communities rather than providing longoverdue relief. Rep. Kilmer and Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler led a bipartisan plea to the Administration on behalf of fisheries communities. They requested the Administration provide relief in the supplemental disaster funding request. The group, who were joined by other members of the Washington delegation, pointed out the important role fisheries play in the region s economy. Earlier this year, Rep. Kilmer and Rep. Herrera Beutler successfully secured $20 Million for fisheries when the congress passed H.R the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act. More is needed to stem the tide of destruction caused by several algal blooms and an anomalous warm blob of water which caused mass fish and bird die-offs, whale strandings and other ecological destruction that devastated the Pacific Northwest s fishing industry. Public Lands On December 4th, President Donald Trump announced plans to reduce Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah by 85 percent and 50 percent, respectively. It is the clearest example yet of the Trump administration s intent to offer our public lands to a handful of mining and fossil fuel companies. This is a short-sighted decision that takes us in the wrong direction, Rep. Derek Kilmer said. National monuments in our state and around the nation have not only protected environmentally and culturally sensitive areas, they have also proven to be significant economic drivers. That s why Democrats and Republicans have, for decades, supported these designations. The Administration s decision will have irreversible consequences that reach far beyond these first two monuments. I am disappointed in this attack on our public lands, and I will continue fighting to protect these national treasures. What is the Fate of Our Public Lands? Public Lands from lush green forests and mountains to rainless lands are part of our natural heritage in the US. They offer places of reflection, contain a genetic reserve for future generations and preservation of our cultural history. Photos by Larry Workman Every president since Theodore Roosevelt has created national monuments, which are similar to national parks, under the unilateral authority granted by the 1906 Antiquities Act. Trump is the first to try to erase them. The day after Trump s announcement to reduce the size of two national monuments, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke made clear that additional national monuments will be on the chopping block. Trump and his allies want to open up this public inheritance for private exploitation, and they re just getting started. Some argue this land is better managed under state control, but make no mistake: The area of these national monuments was slashed to foster private development, not public protection. - Jeremy D. Goodwin Taholah School Christmas Program Nugguam Fawn Sharp, President of the Quinault Indian Nation, attended a United Nations -led seminar in Chile in early December focused on improving the rights of indigenous people. She is one of five experts from around the world being flown out for her expertise on the seminar s specific theme: free, prior and informed consent when it comes to government actions that affect indigenous land. She is the representative for all of North America The meeting consists of workshops, panels and discussions by these experts, as well as seven members from the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples a subsidiary body of the U.N. s Human Rights Council and a number of invited scholars, held Monday and yesterday at Diego Portales University in Santiago, Chile. Although President Barack Obama signed the United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2010, which establishes a framework to assist and protect the survival of different native groups, it does not mandate government to get consent before taking action, an important distinction from consulting, which Sharp believes would ve made a difference with decisions such as construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. After Standing Rock, tribes then began to recognize that if the page 1 The UN Seminar was held at Diego Portales University in Santiago, Chile. Diego Portales University photo Page 3 QIN President, Fawn Sharp, Represents North America at UN seminar in Chile By Louis Krauss, The Daily World U.S. had free, prior and informed consent as part of their domestic agenda, they would ve needed the Standing Rock Nation s consent to install (a pipeline) through their territories, she said. Now tribes and people around the world are looking at this principle for consent. The seven U.N. members will be using results from their discussions in Chile this week to compile a larger report on how to better achieve the goals laid out in UNDRIP and assist indigenous people, with a focus on why it s important for governments to get consent from tribes before making actions. Sharp said her main goal at the seminar is to create a stronger relationship between tribal nations and other countries, as well as network with the experts there who represent other indigenous groups around the world, all of whom have different perspectives on this idea of requiring consent from governments. After getting her undergraduate degree at Gonzaga University and a doctorate from the University of Washington, Sharp pursued her interest in human rights by attending Oxford University, where she received an advanced certificate in International Human Rights Law in Upon receiving the invitation to Chile, Sharp said she could hardly believe her progress from her years as a student to now being the continent s sole representative at an indigenous peoples conference. At first I thought it was spam, but then I opened the invitation, Left to right: Michelle Aguilar-Wells, Mel Tonasket, Pearl Capoeman-Baller, John McCoy and Randy Scott. Photo taken by an Evergreen student As part of The Evergreen State College s Native Pathways Program titled Rebuilding Native Nations: Strategies for Governance and Development, this panel was assembled to provide their personal and professional experiences working within, and for the benefit of Tribal Governments. Michelle spoke about her experiences working with the Suquamish Tribe in Indian Child Welfare and later as the Governor s Assistant for Indian Affairs during Governor Gardner s Administration. Mel Tonasket shared his involvement at the Colville Tribes in opposing the Termination Policy and the US Government s attempt to terminate their reservation, as well as his extensive experience as the Chairman of the National Congress of American Indians and Chairman of his tribe. From Pearl s 32 years on the and I went back to when I was a student with big lofty dreams of maybe someday there would be a treaty or declaration on the rights for indigenous peoples, said Sharp. So to go from there to now being the president of a nation and there being a U.N. document unanimously adopted, and the Quinault Nation is one of five experts on the subject in the world, it s incredible. The Quinault Nation and Sharp have been deeply involved with government-tribal relationships over the years, particularly in advocating for there needing to be consent for major decisions, along with the government s consultation with tribal groups before major projects. In 2010, Sharp introduced Obama at a White House tribal nations summit, where he announced the country would reverse its position and embrace UNDRIP. At a subsequent summit, however, Sharp and other Quinault members notably skipped a meeting between Obama and tribal leaders to speak at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and call out the government for not getting consent before agreeing to actions that drastically impact their land. It was that point we took a public role in saying, We need more than consultation, we need consent, she said. No country should be able to unilaterally take action effecting our land, territory and resources. Reprinted with the permission of The Daily World Rebuilding Native Nations: Strategies for Governance and Development By Jennifer Scott, Education Specialist Quinault Business Council, she was able to provide an overview of a broad range of issues that not only affected the Quinault Nation, but most tribes across the US. State Senator John McCoy, a member of the Tulalip Tribes, offered his perspective at his Tribe and as a State Senator on working to change state policy for improvement of the education and economic development opportunities for all citizens. Randy shared his years of working on Legislative issues starting with the creation of United Indians of All Tribes Foundation in Seattle, and later as the first Assistant for Indian Affairs for Governor Dixy Lee Ray and Governor Spellman. All of the speakers emphasized to the students how important it is to learn this history and understand what it took for our past leaders to get to where we are now. Through strong and visionary tribal leadership in our state, the Northwest tribes often lead the way for major improvements in Government-to-Government policy at the National, State and Local levels. The Native Pathways Program has students from a wide range of tribes, including 10 from the Quinault Nation.

4 Page 4 page 1 January 2018 QNEB Gives Back to the Community Each fiscal year, the QNEB enterprises establishes a goal to give back to the community. During fiscal year 2017, the enterprises contributed to the projects for the Nation s members listed below. In an effort to give back to the Community, I would like to recognize the following QNEB enterprises for their contributions to the Nation s members: Quinault Beach Resort & Casino through their annual motorcycle raffle, raised $3,771 for the QIN WE CARE Program. Quinault Beach Resort & Casino, Q Mart II, Jolly Rogers, and Quinault Land and Timber equally donated to purchase a digital electronic scoreboard for the Taholah High School football field, for a total of $13,395. Quinault Beach Resort & Casino, Q Mart II, Quinault Land and Timber Enterprise, and Jolly Rogers equally donated to the fund for the $50 contribution for Quinault tribal students attending school in the Grays Harbor and Jefferson County school districts. Our donation was added to the Quinault Indian Nation contribution to make the gift card total $250 for Quinault students living and attending school in the counties listed above. The combined total of QNEB s contribution was $20,850. In 2018, QBRC is also committed to purchase new kitchen equipment for the Taholah Community Center, Senior Center, and Queets Gym kitchen. QNEB will be hosting a dinner in Queets and Taholah in February. 2018, see page 5. This was started when QNEB participated in the Feed the Hungry program the Nation sponsored. At that time, various QIN departments and various QNEB PUBLIC NOTICE enterprises participated in sponsoring weekly dinners. When the Nation ended the Feed the Hungry program, the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino (QBRC) continued to host a dinner at Taholah and Queets. Even though QBRC sponsors it, many of the QNEB team members from other enterprises volunteer to help serve, and clean up afterwards. We didn t care for the name Feed the Hungry, and have decided to make it an annual event to show our appreciation to the community, thus the name is ćinaastićinasti Day, which means, we are grateful for your presence, thanking the people. I would also like to thank the Quinault Nation Enterprise Board for their support of these worthy contributions; Melanie Montgomery, Chairman; Pearl Capoeman Baller, Vice Chairman; Robert Paylor, Secretary/Treasurer, and Kim Aiken, and also thank all the QNEB managers for their support. Myrna Figg, QNEB CEO The Constitutional Convention is scheduled for January 27, 2018, 10:00 a.m. at the Taholah Community Center. Táala Staff: Shirley, Tomi, Lori, Natalie and Tina.

QIN Natural Resource Law Enforcement Involvement Westport Man Was Sentenced For Stealing Crab Pots Healing Wounded Warriors By Pies Underwood Mark A Johnson One way to get people to gather for a meeting is to feed them. So dinner was provided and the main course was Spaghetti on Wednesday, November 29 th, at 5:00 pm, it was open to all ages. At the Taholah Community Center. The guest speaker was Mark Johnson, he returned to help our community with healing. Healing involves a multi-facet of factors, it is vastly complex. This was a special event which was sponsored by Quinault Family Services (QFS). Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Mental Health (MH) Quinault Police Department (QPD) and Roger Saux Health Clinic (RSHC). Mark opened up the meeting by divulging personal information about himself and about his past in which he has never done before. His goal was to get the trust of the audience who were listening. Free Legal Services for Low Income Native Americans and Alaska Natives Do you have a non-criminal legal problem? The Native American Unit at Northwest Justice Project provides free civil (non-criminal) legal services to eligible Native Americans and Alaska Natives who cannot afford a lawyer in Washington or whose legal matter stems from being a victim of crime. The NAU can work with you on (among other things): Protecting Indian monies (per capita, settlement, and other tribal income) from garnishment and/or impacting other income and benefits; Education matters suspensions, special education, truancy, He also opened up the microphone to those who wanted to share. The main topic was surrounded around domestic violence. Several individuals got up and spoke and shared a little about their personal lives and one individual shared about the history of where the domestic violence and abuses stemmed from. The main message that needed to be relayed was We don t get wounded alone and we don t heal alone. After this event, it was important to me to get a better focus on the speaker who has credentials that you may find on Seattle Constellations Institute, it s simply incredible to be able to view Mark Johnson in this light. When talking to him, his title is Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and he has been doing this work for 21 years as a Therapist, Counselor and Trainer. He began by sharing, How I started being in this position was mainly because I was trying to understand my own past. He worked for the Mudkleshoot Tribe for 10 years, with the Indigenous Maori for seven years in New Zealand and he also worked with the Aboriginal in Australia for two years. Mark explains, In regard to the colonization, there was trauma by an enormous amount intellectually dominant culture whom I call the White folk. My life was similar as to what the Native people have emancipation; foster and homeless student issues; Trust land rights- leasing, rights of way, homeownership; Indian Health Care and other tribal benefits; Child custody matters involving domestic violence or children s safety; Driver s license suspensions based on unpaid fines. Tribal housing; To find out if we can help you, please call. Residents of King County can call Janel Riley at Residents of all other counties can call the gone through. As we were discussing within our conversation, I believe that Mark can relate to us at all levels. He shares, I was born and raised in Seattle, to a very poor family. He also states, I had to apply for scholarships across the country to receive my education. Interestingly enough, he said, I spent 20 years on stage as an actor doing classicals, singing and also dancing. We may not realize it at the time, but as he shared, This gets things out that were stuck inside. This was a way for me to understand people from the inside out, it answers questions as to what motivates us and what gets in the way. He adds, Later, I decided it was necessary for me to study Psychology, and what this meant to me was to be able to slip underneath someone s skin. The questions I asked was, what do they need? And what s in the way? Mark has a way of putting into words what his work entails, he said, It s a spiritual path of service. He added, Spirit guides everything. Mark travels around the world to help people and it might not seem like it, but he lives a simple life. He said, I live in Southwest of France, I take down dead trees and I stack them for firewood, I have a spring where I walk so I can bring water home.

The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife issued a release after 57 year old Larrin Breitsprecher of Westport was sentenced by Grays Harbor County Superior Court Judge Mark McCauley after a jury found him guilty of possessing stolen property and related charges after stealing commercial crab pots. According to the release, the commercial crab fisherman was given a $5000 fine and sentenced to 90 days of electronic home monitoring for stealing the crab pots offshore of Westport. Beginning May 1, Breitsprecher will be required to remain at home for three months unless he requires medical attention. WDFW says that they started investigating this case last year. WDFW Police Captain Dan Chadwick said the department began its investigation after a deckhand on Breitsprecher s crab boat told officers that his boss directed him to steal crab pots while fishing locally. Chadwick said that WDFW officers and Quinault Natural Resource Enforcement seized 32 commercial crab pots from Breitsprecher s gear Westport Marina in Top 10 US Commercial Seafood Landing Ports Westport. Photo by Larry Workman Photo by Larry Workman and found that at least 24 of them belonged to other crabbers. A commercial crab pot fully rigged can run $200 to $250, so the loss of multiple pots can really add up, he said. We appreciate that the Grays Harbor prosecutor s office pursued this case, because it demonstrates that the law extends to ocean waters. Chadwick said the department also appreciated the assistance of the Quinault tribal police. Jared Eison, QIN Natural Resource Law Enforcement Manager said, Several tribal members had their pots stolen by this non-tribal fisherman. We were able to use the VMS system to show were several of our member s pots were stolen from and that also resulted in additional charges against the suspect for being in our area. Jared added, Restitution forms were sent to our affected tribal members so it will be ordered if the members return the forms. WDFW currently licenses 223 coastal crab vessels, which landed 16.4 million pounds of Dungeness crab with a dockside value of $52 million during the season. 108 million of pounds of crab, salmon, hake and other seafood raised the Westport Marina to top 10 status in the nation for commercial seafood landings based on NOAA Fisheries Statistics for Westport also ranked 14th in the nation in value with just over $59 million of product landed. Commercial fishing is an economic engine for Grays Harbor, with more than 200 commercial fishing vessels based at Westport delivering product to the five upland seafood processors. The industry employs thousands on Washington s Coast.

Also in this meeting, there was discussion going on about criteria for the prospective students and being able to be involved in the choice of who receives the scholarship. They also discussed ideas about what the scholarship was going to be called, Desire to Inspire Memorial Foundation or the other one was called, Jerry s Kids. During the meeting Jan reminisced about some of the students in Jerry and her classes: Chris Baller, Trevis Jones, Jeremy Mail, B.J. James, Ilene Terry, Ancy Grover, Bee Gee Comenout and others. She added that you always remember the first students you teach.

Dr. Jeff Wayman, OD also made a lunch time presentation to the adults about diabetes and eye health. Photos by Larry Workman How to Survive the Holidays Submitted by Candace Earls, MA, MHCA, DVC Why do people get depressed and suffer anxiety during the holidays? Some suffer from what is sometimes called holiday depression syndrome. (or seasonal affect disorder DSM IV or DSM V Major Depressive Disorder-recurrent: with seasonal pattern). Feeling a particular sadness and depression during winter months, or for a small percentage of the population, in summer months. Seeking out the advice of your physician and therapist is recommended if you find yourself experiencing any of the symptoms. Still others see the perfect examples of what holiday cheer should look like, and how families should behave, and an endless flow of money to buy presents for friends and loved ones to prove how successful they are, gain acceptance, and be one of the holiday crowd. Don t set yourself up for failure chasing an illusion. Here are some tips that will help with the holiday blues and the letdown that is felt by many when their holiday looks different than the perfect example presented by the media (who by the way, do that in order to sell something). Tips to survive: Acknowledge your feelings and learn to grieve: It is ok to mourn the loss of a loved one during the holidays. Being in touch with our feelings and expressing them is acceptable and natural. Reach out: If you feel lonely, reach out to others in the community, whether it be organizations, churches, or others that are isolated, the companionship and support can aid in lifting your spirits. Be realistic: We can t have perfection in our traditions or our families. Set attainable goals and expect some of the traditions to change over the years as people come and go in our lives, and new traditions are brought in. Some will endure over time, and some will evolve. Set aside differences: This is a good time to practice temperance, and leave the disagreements at the door. Understand that others may also be feeling the stress of the holidays. Stick to a budget: Save over the course of the year if necessary to avoid last minute over spending and debt. Decide how much you will need and try to stay within those limits. Plan ahead: Decide what days are available for shopping, baking, and get-togethers. Coordinate with other family members in advance so there are no last minute surprises. Prioritize workouts: Maintaining a physical workout routine aids in eliminating or managing stress and helps burn off the extra calories gained over the holiday. Brisk walks and/or going to the gym is great physical exercise. Try to avoid screen time (tv, computer, cell phone, video games) for an hour before bedtime in order to allow the mind to relax for a good nights sleep. In its place, take a bubble bath, read, listen to relaxing music, and/or meditate. Consider your light exposure: Getting outside for walks during daylight hours is good light exposure. When that is not possible, light boxes are available and usages for up to 30 minutes a day aids in the blues associated with lack of exposure to the sun. If the blues persist, speak to your physician about it. Learn to say no: It is ok to say no to a party. If you are feeling overwhelmed with all of the festivities that are going on and can t face one more get-together, it is ok to have some self-care and stay home. The holidays can become overpowering, especially to those with anxiety. Don t binge on food or alcohol: Eating a healthy diet will make you feel better in the long run. Consuming alcohol in excess intensifies guilt or other negative emotions, and leaves you feeling worse than before. Cut back on commitments and take a breather: Block off time in your holiday schedule to have self-care time. Give yourself permission and time to read, exercise, catch up on your favorite show, or whatever healthy activity that gives you pleasure. Don t neglect yourself in pursuit of the perfect holiday. Seek professional help if you feel you need it: If you begin to feel the anxiety, depression or sadness that is not going away, seek out a professional to work through the difficulties you are experiencing. Each family has their own customs and traditions that will change over time with the addition of new members. Embrace your own, and enjoy the holidays in a manner that makes you and yours happy. That is what the children will remember and pass on for future generations. Happy Holidays everyone!

Pulling Together For Wellness American Indian Health Commission for Washington State Adverse Health Effects of Smoking A Federal Court has ordered Altria, R.J.

More people die every year from smoking than from murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes, and alcohol, combined. Smoking causes heart disease, emphysema, acute myeloid leukemia, and cancer of the mouth, esophagus, larynx, lung, stomach, kidney, bladder, and pancreas. Smoking also causes reduced fertility, low birth weight in newborns, and cancer of the cervix. Addictiveness of Smoking and Nicotine A Federal Court has ordered Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA to make this statement about the addictiveness of smoking and nicotine. Smoking is highly addictive. Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco. Cigarette companies intentionally designed cigarettes with enough nicotine to create and sustain addiction. It s not easy to quit. When you smoke, the nicotine actually changes the brain that s why quitting is so hard. Lack of Significant Health Benefit from Smoking Low Tar, Light, Ultra-Light, Mild, and Natural Cigarettes A Federal Court has ordered Altria, R.J.

They are not. Low tar and light cigarette smokers inhale essentially the same amount of tar and nicotine as they would from regular cigarettes. All cigarettes cause cancer, lung disease, heart attacks, and premature death lights, low tar, ultra lights, and naturals. There is no safe cigarette. Manipulation of Cigarette Design and Composition to Ensure Optimum Nicotine Delivery A Federal Court has ordered Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA to make this statement about designing cigarettes to enhance the delivery of nicotine. Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA intentionally designed cigarettes to make them more addictive. Cigarette companies control the impact and delivery of nicotine in many ways, including designing filters and selecting cigarette paper to maximize the ingestion of nicotine, adding ammonia to make the cigarette taste less harsh, and controlling the physical and chemical makeup of the tobacco blend. When you smoke, the nicotine actually changes the brain that s why quitting is so hard. Adverse Health Effects of Exposure to Secondhand Smoke A Federal Court has ordered Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA to make this statement about the health effects of secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke kills over 38,000 Americans each year. Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer and coronary heart disease in adults who do not smoke. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory infections, ear problems, severe asthma, and reduced lung function. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.

9 January 2018 Nugguam page 1 Page Highlights Community Services Report By Michael Cardwell, Community Services Director Here is an executive summary to the General Council report which details the past fiscal year budgets and work plans. These highlights are from FY 17 and the last three months of the calendar year, which includes the first quarter of FY18. The Community Services Division is the Can-Do Division. Our Team is the Get-It-Done Guys and Gals. It was with great pride that at our first quarter (FY18) divisional staff meeting, I was able to tell them thank you for the work they have done in the last fiscal year, and the next. We are undergoing Incident Command System training, as we know that when the next storm event occurs, who are you going to call? Not Ghostbusters, but us. We want to be trained and ready to respond. We are here to serve the Nation. The highlights are that in FY 17 are that we won an award from the Washington State Chapter of the American Planning Association for the Village Relocation Plan. It is humbling to be acknowledged by your peers for the good work being done. And that plan is in motion, as the Generations Building is underway east of the Clinic the Northeast Neighborhood is being engineered for construction, and the Energy Park with the Bio- Mass Plant is also being engineered and will go to construction. Planning without doing is dreaming. We also added a couple of buildings to the Nations inventory: Ocean Shores and Hoquiam. Both Construction and Building Maintenance had their hands full the first Quarter of FY17 with get those acquisitions operational. Now the Nation has a very visible presence within those communities. That can only lead to better working relationships and better service for our off reservation population. We facilitated the removal of nuisance/dangerous structures and participated in the Title 18 Nuisance - revision and adoption. The purpose of the Nuisance Title is to assure that we have healthy structures to live in. So when fire or water damage occurs, the homes are repaired. When they are structurally damaged then if they cannot be repaired, they have to be torn down. In FY 18, you can expect to see many structures removed as they are not safe and/or are rodent habitat. In FY 17 the Business Committee passed a resolution detailing the expenditure of some federal settlement funds litigation. Our Construction staff has been augmented to accomplish those projects. We completed major bridge repairs on BIA 26 (Moclips Olympic Highway). As you may remember, we were down to one lane on two bridges. We participated in the country-wide Museum Passport Promotion. Museum Curator Loni Chubby reports that we had more visitors than ever. If you haven t been there for a while, she updates the displays and shares personal knowledge of the artifacts with interested parties. On a personal note, I want to tell you that I as Community Services Director was asked to present at the Federal Emergency Management Agency national conference held in Maryland. I also did webinars to extoll the virtues of working collaboratively within Indian Country. We will need friends when it comes to constructing Taholah Heights out of the tsunami zone. The first quarter of FY 18 we held a funding meeting in Queets to discuss the process for obtaining funding to relocate the Queets Waste Water Treatment Plant onto Allotment 100, up the hill from the present location by the river. I cannot express the dire need for this project to occur as river encroachment has threatened to wipe out the Rose Bowl. The cell walls are beginning to fail on the back side to where we have to draw down water so that they are not blown out. This is the highest priority within FY18, to obtain funding to make sure that our infrastructure is safe and the waters pure. We will continue to do our best to clean up our communities, either through the Spring Clean-up Initiative or the removal of dangerous nuisance structures. Expect to see more structures removed in FY18. And be excited that construction will begin on the Generations Building. This was a General Council mandate. I came from the sky and give life to the land. Now I am of this land. I feel its cold. I feel its heat. I am in every plant and every animal. I am ever flowing like the river to the sea.

Photo by Deidre Woods Shop with a Cop was a great success this year. The weather did not cooperate, but the children and officers had a great time. Once pictures and breakfast was done, the officers and children proceeded in a parade of police cars with lights and sirens to Wal- Mart. The officers helped the children shop for gifts for themselves and family. A great time was had by all. We are looking forward to participating again next year. The Department is moving forward with plans to being recognized as Peace Officers by the State of Washington. This will encompass significant training through the State by each officer and will provide the Department the ability to enforce law on non-tribal persons committing crimes on the Reservation. This will significantly enhance the Department s ability to respond to any and all criminal situations with the authority to act instead of only detaining for County or State to determine if they will respond. The Department is currently in the process of filling vacant correction positions and hopes to fill the positions over the next two months depending on the outcomes of the candidate s backgrounds, poly- Special Recognition for Jimmy Smith-Kramer orated paddles and the Tana Stobš canoe of the Bennie Armstrong Canoe Family in Suquamish outlined in lights.

On December 11, 2017 Chief Mark James and Lieutenant Ron Belcher held an assembly at the Taholah School for grades 5 th thru 8 th. The assembly was a kick off of the Quinault Nation Police Department s Anti Bullying for kids. Students were introduced to personal experiences, what it causes and how that affects each and every one of them. Acronyms for words were introduced to give them a better understanding of their actions. We intend on visiting all grades and schools on the Reservation by the end of the school year.

Photo by Michael Cardwell On November 27th, a special day in memory of Jimmy Smith-Kramer to commemorate his life was held at the Taholah School. Jimmy passed on May 28, We recognize him as a hero. We will remember his athletic skills in all the sports he played; he was a spectacular athlete and an outstanding student. Jimmy saved his friend Harvey Anderson s life. As a result, some of our community members and the entire Taholah School, students and staff attended. The School Board made a decision to retire Jimmy s number 5 on the request of Cory Smith, who raised Jimmy. His number is retired in all sports at the Taholah High School.

News reporter Art McDonald and cameraman Joel Schroedel, from KOMO TV came to Queets and Taholah on January 8 th and 9th to take pictures of the Quinault Reservation. The first day they were at Queets. They took pictures of the Head Start Program there and talked with James Jackson, Tribal Chairman. From there they went to Charlotte Kalama's house and took shots of the home without power and also of the fish house without power. They asked James Jackson what progress has been made concerning the power. John Shale demonstrated cutting out a canoe for them. They questioned him about how long it took to finish making a canoe. Tim Bergin, Public Health Service, talked with the newsmen concerning the water and sanitation and what the future plans are for the Reservation. After that they took pictures of the village in general, street scenes, fishermen on the river, school children getting off the bus at the end of the day, etc. On the way down to Taholah they stopped off at the fish hatchery in Cook Creek and the fish weir on the Moclips River. They came to Taholah on January 9th. The first stop was at the Health Clinic where they talked with Doctor Lewis Netzer about the general health problems in Taholah and took pictures of the Clinic. They also got a shot of Hannah Singhose, CAP community nurse, making a home call to check on the sick child of the Napoleon family. They then went to the Shaker Church dining hall and took pictures of our Community Facilities crew working on the new foundation and also took general pictures of our village. At the Tribal Office they held an interview with Alice Chenois, CAP Director, about what role the Community Action Program has on the reservation. They spoke with John F. Gordon, Assistant Superintendent from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, about what has happened in the past and what plans they have for the future From the Tribal Office they went to the Taholah School This newspaper clipping was sent to us several years ago and believed to be taken about There is no information other than the caption below: This is Mary Riddle, twenty years old, a full-blooded Quinault Indian girl who is the first of her race to become an aviatrix. She completed her training at Portland, Oregon and this photograph was made just before she hopped off for a solo flight. Her Indian name is Kus-de-ca and she resides on the Quinault reservation in the state of Washington. If you have any information about this that you would like to share, please contact us at the Nugguam. Happy New Year! where trey interviewed Harold Patterson about the school problems that face the Indians of the reservation. They also spoke with Francis McCrory about the PTA and the school board, and the support the community has given the school. They took pictures in the classrooms. In Clarence Pickernell's classroom the children were shown learning the Quinault language. Mr. Pickernell's dancers also performed for the newscasters. The Quinault Reservation will be featured from 5 to 8 days on the newscast shown on Channel 4 between 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Highway Department Holds Access Hearing The State Highway Commission conducted a hearing at the Taholah School on January 8, The purpose of the meeting was to review the accesses for the new section of highway 109 from Camp Creek north to the section line. There will be five accesses in this section of the highway. All of these were reviewed and approved by the Quinault Tribe before the hearing. State Superintendent Classifies Segregation Issue Dr. Chester Babcock, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction, wrote to the Taholah School Board that the state is not planning to abandon any Indian schools. His letter was in response to a statement by the Taholah Board protesting the article in The Aberdeen World which represented the Taholah School as being "segregated. Mr. Babcock stated that the State Office recognizes the need for educational programs such as the one we have in Taholah which are designed especially for Indians. He blamed the press for confusing the Indian education with the problem of Negroes in the city areas. The state will soon call a meeting of educators from Indian communities to find ways of strengthening schools which serve Indian students. Bruno Honors Taholah School It was quite a surprise to open the school mail in December and find that the Taholah School had been chosen by Mr. Louis Bruno as a candidate for national honors. We have been proud of our school through the years, and have believed in what we are doing there. The children, parents, school board, and teachers have all done their share in building and improving our school from year to year. We haven't tried to compare our school with others very much, because we have not had too many opportunities to visit other programs. It is Mr. Bruno's job to make comparisons, and we are very grateful and pleased that he took notice of us in this way. Robert Groeschell, the State Director of Elementary Education has visited our school several times. He has also visited the other schools in Washington, as well as many across the nation. He was influential in assisting Mr. Bruno in his nomination of Taholah. It should be made clear that Mr. Bruno s selection of Taholah is a nomination only. Dr. George Brain, Dean of Education at Washington State University was asked to help in the selection of ten outstanding elementary schools throughout the nation. He conferred with Mr. Bruno on this, and this is how we were chosen. Whether we gain national recognition or not, it is a great thing for us to be so honored by our State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Perhaps someone would wonder why we were selected for such recognition. Other schools have better buildings, more modern furniture and classrooms, and more elaborate equipment than we do. Perhaps Mr. Bruno had to consider many factors in making his decision. In his own words, he chose Taholah because In our estimation this school comes closer to suiting an educational program to the children that it serves than any school we have visited in our State." It had not been our intention to make any public statements about this until later. However, we received other kinds of publicity which were based on poor information and bad taste. In the local newspaper one article described us as a "racially segregated school," and another stated that we are spending too much money on our children. The writers of these articles had not visited our school and did not have enough facts to speak truthfully. A protest was made to the editor of The Aberdeen Daily World, and it was suggested to him that if he wanted to know the truth about the Taholah School he should contact the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. As a result some corrections were made, and the articles in the paper have become friendlier. I am sure that this attention will be for our good. In our response to Mr. Bruno, we said, If the success of the Taholah School can be an encouragement to others, perhaps there will be a contribution to society. We welcome attention, not because we want it for ourselves, but because we want to let the world know what we believe and what we are doing about it. "It is my feeling that this recognition is very timely and appropriate for the Quinault Indians. They have made tremendous strides in the past few years in terms of self-identify and community development. We believe that the school has been a primary factor in community growth, because it has served as a base of operations for democratic expression." I am sure that we have no need to blow our own horn. But when we are unjustly criticized it is good to know that the facts are on our side, and that those in highest authority are for us. Harold Patterson Taholah Competes in Tournament The Taholah fisheries basketball team competed in the Seattle all-indian tourney. After losing a hard fought battle to hot shooting Lummi in an overtime period 65-64, Taholah went on to win the next two games against Skokomish and La Push Taholah came home with a fifth place trophy. The Seattle Roadrunners came in first with Tacoma, La Conner and Warm Springs in respective positions. Players participating for Taholah were: Coach Butch James, Billy James, Herb Capoeman Jr., Neil Underwood, Inky Charley, Sully Charley, Chuck Sampson, Jack Young, John Barnett, and Sal Salme. In order for La Push to play in the tourney, they borrowed Harold Curley, Glen Jackson and Joe De La Cruz. And as a bonus Taholah threw in Butch McMinds. Reported By: Justine James Shaker Church Construction The foundation for the Shaker Church dining hall was poured by the Community Facilities crew on December 29, Unlikely Alliances: Native Nations and White Communities Join to Defend Rural Lands By Zoltán Grossman with a foreword by Winona LaDuke; University of Washington Press. (Indigenous Confluences series), As Native nations have asserted their treaty rights and sovereignty, they have confronted a white backlash from their neighbors fearful of losing control over the land and natural resources. Farmers, ranchers, and fishers have at times been virtually at war with Native peoples over treaty resources such as fish and water. Yet faced with an outside threat to the common environment such as a mine, dam, bombing range, coal train, or oil pipeline some communities unexpectedly joined to protect the same resources. Strong rural alliances of Native peoples and their white neighbors, such as the Cowboy Indian Alliance, came together in areas of the U.S. where no one would have predicted or even imagined them. Some regions with the most intense and violent conflict were even transformed into the areas with the deepest cooperation to defend sacred lands and water. Unlikely Alliances explores this evolution from conflict to cooperation through placebased case studies in the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, Great Basin, and Great Lakes, from the 1970s to the 2010s. They suggest how a deep love of place can overcome the most bitter divides between Native and non-native neighbors. They offer lessons about the complex interplay of particularist differences and universalist similarities in building social movements across lines of racial and cultural identity. They also show how outsiders can be transformed into insiders by redefining a contested local place as common ground. In our times of polarized politics and globalized economies, many of these stories offer inspiration and hope. Zoltán Grossman is professor of geography and Native studies at The Evergreen State College. He is a longtime community organizer and coeditor of Asserting Native Resilience: Pacific Rim Indigenous Nations Face the Climate Crisis.

12 Page 12 page 1 January 2018 Salmon Recovery Grants Awarded Trout Unlimited, Inc. Grant Awarded: $36,470 to Abandoning a Road over Ziegler Creek to Improve Salmon Habitat Trout Unlimited will use this grant to remove an abandoned utility road over Ziegler Creek located on the U.S. Forest Service Norwood property and restore the area to natural conditions. Ziegler Creek is a tributary to Lake Quinault and flows into the southeast end of the lake from the Olympic National Forest. Trout Unlimited also will place large logs and tree root wads in the creek and plant the creek banks. Tree root wads and logs create places for fish to rest and hide from predators. They also slow the water, which reduces erosion and the amount of sediment in the river. Slower water allows small gravels to settle to the bottom for spawning areas. Finally, they change the flow of the creek, creating riffles and deep cold pools, giving fish more varied habitat. The new plantings along the creek banks will help shade the water, cooling it for fish. The plants also drop branches and leaves into the water, which provide food for the insects salmon eat and places for salmon to rest and hide from predators. Finally, the roots of the plants help keep the soil from entering the water and burying spawning gravel. In a naturally flood prone area, and with the increasing intensity of storms related to climate change, removal of this road will minimize flood damage. The creek is used by coho, Chinook, and sockeye salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat and rainbow trout. The project is a joint effort of Trout Unlimited, U.S. Forest Service, and Quinault Indian Nation. Trout Unlimited will contribute $10,786 in donations of labor. Quinault Beach Resort Expansion Progress QIN Grant Awarded: $65,000 to Removing a Barrier to Fish Passage in the Quinault River The Quinault Indian Nation s Division of Natural Resources will use this grant to build a bridge on the Camp 7 Road, over an unnamed tributary to the lower Quinault River on the Quinault Indian Reservation. The bridge will replace a culvert that is blocking fish. Culverts are large structures, usually pipes, which carry streams under roads. The river is used by coho salmon, char, steelhead, and cutthroat and rainbow trout. The Quinault Indian Nation will contribute $228,940 in a federal grant and donations of cash. QIN Grant Awarded: $150,000 to Controlling Knotweed along the Lower Quinault River The Quinault Indian Nation s Division of Natural Resources will use this grant to survey and treat invasive knotweed plants along six miles of the lower Quinault River floodplain. QIN will survey nearly 1,900 acres and treat an estimated 950 acres. Knotweed is a serious threat to shoreline habitats because it grows vigorously, creating dense colonies that make it hard for native plants to survive. Knotweed s ability to outcompete other plants alters the natural ecosystem, and once established, is very difficult to get rid of. The Quinault River is used by Chinook, chum, coho, and sockeye salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout. The Quinault Indian Nation will contribute $26,473 in staff labor and a federal grant. Cecil Capoeman (left) and his dad, Guy Capoeman (right), are busy carving two 10-foot tall welcome figures that will greet guest to the buffet. Photos by Larry Workman As of December, the project has achieved the important dry in milestone. Phase 1 expansion work continues on the inside of structure, outside and within the community. In the community, artists are hard at work carving the statues that will welcome guests into the buffet! Intricate details are being crafted into the two nearly 10 foott tall statues. The statues are based off carvings from Queets of Chief big eats, and his wife first light. The placement outside the buffet honors their reputation for legendary potlatch parties. Visitors would come from afar and stay to enjoy the hospitality and the enormous meals! Once you walk inside the project you ll notice that the temperature is rising due to A majority of the work is completed above what will be the final ceiling. Photo by Evan Sekulic the temporary heaters. The majority of the work was completed above what will be the final ceiling. Duct, insulation, piping, and supports hang from the ceiling. Initial plumbing and electrical is now being ran within the wall framing. Tribal workers have been an integral part of the crews throughout construction and can be seen in the photo, to the far right, working together to place concrete at the feature bar. The other interior photo included for this article highlights ductwork and still allows a glimpse at the contours of what used to be the exterior of the adjacent existing structure. More project information and a live camera feed are available at: Placing concrete at the feature bar. Photo by Tara Perez Outside the project you will see that the golden color exterior is slowly being closed in by scaffolding and the plastic tenting. This will allow crews a protected environment to install the exterior foam insulation system known as EFIS. Once installed the textured final layer will be painted and help blend the structure into the existing. Inside and outside the casino the goal will be a consistent look and experience. Along with what is visible, the new structures roof is already diverting rain water to active roof drains, and with every break in the weather the final roofing layers are being completed. Official opening dates will be announced in future articles, but the project is on schedule and on budget. Evan Sekulic - Project Manager
