Kathryn “K at” Brigham was selected by th e C olum bia R iver trib e s as th e c h a ir w o m a n o f th e C o lu m b ia River Inter-Tribal Fish Com mission. B rig h am is o n e o f th e f o u n d in g m e m b e rs of C R IT F C . She p re v io u s ly served as commission chair, from 2008-09. Introduced to fisheries is sues as a ■ y o u n g a d u lt, Brigham w ould accom pany her grandfather and respected tribal leader Sam K ash Kash to meetings. There, her grand father and Sam instilled in B righam a need to p ro tec t fisheries resources for the next seven generations. “ M y te a c h in g s a b o u t salmon and our fishing rights go b a c k to w h e n I w as a young girl,” she said. “We have a responsibility to fight for those treaty rights, for our tribal m em bers and the next generations o f tribal m em bers. “T rib al fam ilies o n the Columbia River are exercis ing their treaty rights and pass ing dow n traditions to chil dren, and now grandchildren. O ur people deserve to know that their rights are being pro te c te d an d e n h an c ed , n o t threatened or diminished.” Today, Brigham serves as the secretary o f the Board o f Trustees o f the Confederated Tribes o f the Umatilla Indian Reservation. A staunch advocate and tribal treaty fishing rights, she was first a p p o in ted to the Umatilla tribe’s fish and wild life comm ittee in 1976. D ur ing her tenure at CRITFC, she has been instrumental in the im p lem entation o f the 1976 M e m o ra n d u m ' o f A g re e m e n t w ith th e Bonneville Power A dm inis tra tio n and th e C olum bia Tribes; and the implementa tion o f the U.S. vS.

Brigham will assume the chairmanship o f CRITFC on July 25 from G erald Lewis (Yakama Nation). W. Wash, tribes say fishing rights at risk (AP) B M o re th a n 150 years ago, Indian tribes in w estern W ashington ceded m uch o f the state to the fed eral governm ent in return for g u arantees o f salm on and other fishing rights. Now, those tribes say their treaty rights with the U.S. are at risk because the region is losing h a b ita t th a t salm on n eed to survive. T h ey say their treaty rights w on’t m ean m uch if there’s no salmon to harvest. T hey warn o f poten tial court action if m ore isn't done. In a rep o rt last summer, the tribes said the federal gov ernm ent has not lived up to its obligations under treaties signed in 1854 and 1855. This spring, three federal agencies proposed a plan to address those concerns. O ne federal official says the agen cies take seriously the issues the tribes raised. Fisheries: stream was damaged by dredging (Continued from page 1) T he goal o f the O xbow Tailings Restoration Project is to restore the habitat to ben efit spring chinook salmon, sum m er steelhead and bull trout.
