@karinapdx's first (of many) of my stories she edits. And it probably won't even be the last story she edits dealing with this pumped storage energy project on treaty lands where the Yakama Nation and other tribes say destruction and damage to cultural sites is unavoidable.

Affected federally-recognized #tribes pushed #Washington state to deny permits to a developer because its project along the #ColumbiaRiver would mean the unavoidable destruction or damage to #sacredsites.

Our newsroom saw that our name, “Indian Country Today,” though a strong brand and recognizable name anywhere, was also outdated. #WeAreICT

Tomorrow #SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in a case that could limit the scope of its 2020 #McGirt decision.

Using alarming facts & figures, #Oklahoma claims McGirt led to criminal justice chaos. But we looked into it, & their numbers don’t add up.

Recent story from me. Read it here or via @IndianCountry

[Underscore Native News @Underscorenews]

A WDFW investigation in 2015 would eventually lead to felony charges for two Tulalip Tribal members.
Late last year, the Skagit County court dismissed the charges, saying the state didn’t have jurisdiction in the matter in the first place.
