Coast Salish Cultural Work Sessions
In December 2020 San Juan County Environmental Stewardship hosted a 3-session virtual workshop with Debra Lekanoff to share Coast Salish relationships through the Salish Sea and connections to the environment and resources and a discussion of best practices to working with Washington Tribes.
Along with Debra Lekanoff panelists included Jay Julius of the Lummi Nation, Patti Gobin of the Tulalip Tribes, Ray Harris of the Chemainus First Nation, Sam Barr of the Samish Indian Nation and the Stillaguamish Tribe, and Diana Bob from Native Law Firm.
These sessions have been made available for your viewing below.
In March 2021 San Juan County Environmental Stewardship hosted a second set of work sessions. These sessions, led by Stacey Bumbeck of Jacobs Engineering focused on the technical aspects of Section 106 requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act and local and state laws. Due to some sensitive material shared in the presentations, these recordings are only available to county staff upon request. Please contact Frances Robertson or Kendra Smith if you are interested.
