TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2002 Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb has asked to delay a decision on the Chinook Nation recognition for another four months. A memo he sent Secretary of Interior Gale Norton last Tuesday gives no reason for the extension, reports The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He was to have issued a decision by March 8. The tribe's recognition was finalized by former Assistant Secretary Kevin Gover in January 2001. The Quinault Nation of Washington, a federally recognized tribe, challenged the decision and it was referred to McCaleb for review. Get the Story:
