Over the 2022 we did a number of online presentations on Rights of Rivers and Nature, Rights of Mother Earth, the issue of Dam Breaching on the Lower Snake River, and other topics that we continue to be involved with. During the summer of 2022 we had a Source to Sea event with three women who kayaked from the mouth of the Salmon River to the Snake/Columbia to the ocean. We also held another event with the Lummi Tribe House of Tears totem carvers at Hells Gate State Park on Lower Granite Dam reservoir. With our weekly youth activities with the Lapwai Elementary School After School program that included 30 to 40 3rd, 4th and 5th graders we met and worked on traditional arts and crafts, beadwork, feather work and other Nimiipuu traditional activities. During the year we did online campaigns that included dam breaching and salmon recovery, Oil and Coal Train issues, water quality, forest protection and pushing for moving away from fossil fuels. We continued our advocacy with other Tribal Groups and were fairly successful on working with staff from the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians on getting resolutions introduced. We had monthly zoom meetings with groups throughout the Northwest, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to ensure we kept our message out in the public through these meetings and social media. These included Sierra Club, Save Our Wild Salmon, Earthjustice, WWF and others who were working on the same issues, co-opting different groups into our campaigns has proved immensely successful. The main goals we have now are to Breach the Lower Snake River Dams, push for protections for Wolves and Grizzly bears in the Pacific Northwest and to continue advocating or the protections of the land, water, forests and species in our Treaty of 1855 and usual and accustomed areas. We will continue our youth and adult work in the upcoming year. 201619 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 7 false 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true false false false X JULIAN MATTHEWS 5093300023 PO BOX 452 LAPWAI ID 83540 JULIAN MATTHEWS Executive Dir. 10.00 0.00 X X 50026 0 0 DOROTHY SHERWOOD Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY WITINOK-HUBER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KASSANDRA TOWNSEND Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA CARSCALLEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 50026 0 false false false 0 508811 508811 0 1578 1578 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 510389 1578 0 0 0 0 50026 50026 0 16901 16901 0 0 5387 5387 0 0 2500 2500 0 0 0 0 18149 18149 5418 5418 570 570 0 12100 12100 15996 15996 0 3760 3760 0 0 1616 1616 5522 5522 OUTSIDE SERVICES 23631 23631 SUPPLIES 18516 18516 AUTO EXPENSE 12081 12081 GIFTS 9079 9079 5785 5785 207037 201619 5418 0 495639 792007 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15757 3756 5017 12001 0 0 0 0 0 500656 804008 0 0 X 500656 804008 500656 804008 500656 804008 303352 X false false false X 52036 100609 318161 347447 508811 1327064 0 0 0 0 52036 100609 318161 347447 508811 1327064 0 0 1327064 19 97 185 475 1578 2354 0 19 97 185 475 1578 2354 0 0 52055 100706 318346 347922 510389 1329418 0.99820 0.99910 0.00180 0.00090 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8600 358 8242 7157 3398 3759 12001 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
