I have not seen nor heard of any support for the Lummi Native Americans in their fight to keep any more of Cook's farmed fish out of the state of Washington . There are 3 Oregon Native American Tribes smaller than you but they are out there supporting the Lummi
Show me some pride in your culture as I know the Puyallup's fish on River Road near Tacoma WA. Why why have I not heard or seen one damn word from some of the largest Native American nations in this state?
? I live in the Puyallup area and I have not heard a word of support. Our Orcas are in stress because they are not finding enough to eat, our salmon runs are low our CoHo are in trouble. Enlighten me why do I not see you supporting the Lummi Nation but small tribes from Oregon has the courage of their culture.

I love living in the Puyallup River valley. I want us to be environmentally responsible.
