A message from the Snoqualmie Tribe, whose leaders are opposing development near the Snoqualmie Falls in Washington:
We believe we have a responsibility to share our resources—especially with our neighbors in need. We proudly support local food drives. We gladly pitched in to serve the community of Oso recover after the devastating landslide in 2014. And we help underwrite operational costs of nonprofits providing critical services to the community such as the Snoqualmie YMCA as part of our commitment to our home. The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe also places tremendous value on arts, science, culture and preservation. Our elected government makes careful decisions about work worth investing in. Since 2010, our tribe has donated more than $5 million to hundreds of nonprofit organizations in Washington State. It's our small way of giving back to our community, just as our ancestors have done.Read More:
