For hundreds of years they have been denied. They have been denied as a nation, denied a culture, and denied of respect. Yet, the courage to continue has been the hallmark cry of this nation. They have continued to fight for their rights as a people. The have continued to watch their beloved Columbia river waste away. First with the large dams upriver that killed off the fish that were a way of life for thousands of years for them; then the chemicals of the industry, and now the progress of pipelines which could cause unprecedented disasters against the brine in their veins--the Columbia estuary. Please help them begin a success that is not final--but the beginning of a nation as it rises from the ashes of American bureaucracy to finally be able to embrace its future by acknowledging the mistake from the past.... 60960@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 20 Jun 2009 03:19:14 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_2576.html#60956 Please support this bill!!!... 60956@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:12:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_2576.html#60940 give the chinooks the recognition they have long deserved. and then gave them back all the rights they have been denied.... 60940@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 19 Jun 2009 23:36:15 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_2576.html#60838 I am one month shy of 72 years. I have been a proud Chinook all of my life. My Grandmother and Great, Great Grandmother wove Chinook baskets. The Chinook people were the ones who welcomed Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean. The Chinook "Jargon" was the main language used by the early explorers and the tribes to communicate with each other. The Chinook Salmon is named for our tribe. The mighty Chinook winds that roar down the Cascade Mountains are named for our tribe We have a rich heritage and I hope you will see it your way to pass this restoration bill. As I said, I am nearing 72 years and I would like to see my tribe finally get the recognition it so richly deserves.
