Day 8...

July 22nd, 2013

Umatillia Indian Reservation- Department of Natural Resources

First Foods Management 
Wenix Red Elk, DNR Education & Outreach specialist 

We learned that the goal of this tribe is to restore its first food. These are water, salmon, deer, roots, and berries for culture and economic benefits. They want to focus on helping populations and habitats  of these foods. They think culture is the law and what they live by. All types of laws come along with trying to preserve these foods. Water rights, fishing rights, hunting rights, and gathering and grazing rights. 
Wenix's job is to represent everyone and all rights and to educate others about them.
I really liked this presentation and I believe that BY COMBINING SCIENCE AND CULTURE OF TRIBES WE CAN SAVE ALL RESOURCES!
